Hi ppl

I am having some problems installing samba on HP-UX Ver 11.11. After running ./configure I get the folloing error message below.

Using libraries:
LIBS = -lgen -lsec -lnsl
AUTH_LIBS =
checking configure summary... WARNING: No automated network interface determinat
ion
ERROR: no seteuid method available
configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config

How do I search for a proper download file like a depot file so I can install using swinstall

Which Samba did you install?
Open Source? HP's CIFS?

Hi ppl

I downloaded samba_2.2.8a_HPUX_withbind.depot.gz but I;m not sure how to install it. I have done this before on Aix which took only 15 minutes to do. Unfortunately on HP-UX it seems different.

The previous download was samba-latest.tar.gz and then I ran ./configure that's when I got the error message. that was from the site http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/

Phoenix,
You will be better off using HP's supported SAMBA named: CIFS/9000 Server

B8725AA A.01.08 CIFS/9000 Server

It should already part of your HPUX 11.11 install as part of your coreOS.. see /opt/samba. Config files are in /etc/opt... You may also configure it via SWAT http://yourserver:901.

Latest HP Samba build off of the CIFS/9000 Server package (as bundled in HPUX11i SEP2003 EOUR) is 2.2.8f. You may also download from software depot home of HP...

Hi,

You are indeed better off running HP's version of samba, CIFS Server.

If however, you want to run the samba that you downloaded, do the following:
- gunzip samba_2.2.8a_HPUX_withbind.depot.gz
- swinstall -v -s $PWD/samba_2.2.8a_HPUX_withbind.depot

This will bring up the swinstall screen. Select the samba software with the space key, press "m" to mark it, press "tab" to go the menu, select the "actions" menu and "install" it.
Read the log to see if it's all ok.
