samba 2.2.2 working for anyone?

[Rodney Hills]

I fetched the hpux 10.20 binaries from samba.org and installed it. I applied the recommended patch (PHCO_23684), but I still can't get nmbd or smbd to start.
I run them from command line and nothing comes out. ps -ef shows nothing running. I can't find any log files.

Has anybody got 2.2.2 working? Also if anyone found a binary for winbindd (new feature), could you let me know?

Thanks... Rod Hills

Don't bother with the version from samba.org.
I've done it, but t'is a huge hassle.

Instead, de-install that one, and get the
software depot directly from HP at:
http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProducts.pl?group_type=category&group_name=NSM

This is supported by HP, and it is much easier to install and configure.

Hi,
Samba 2.2.2 seems to be very popular in de forums these days :-)
You probably already searched the forums, but if not you might take a look at the following threads.

Here's one problem I ran into that prevented me from starting the processes. The lock directory was missing.

Easy way to check/config is using swat... connect to http://yoursever:901

-click on globals
-click advanced view
scroll down to Misc Options and look for "lock dir". Make sure that the directory defined here actually exists.

Hope this helps you,

fyi: CIFS client/server software isn't available for 10.20

Thanks everybody, it was the missing lock directory.

I needed to create directories /var/opt/samba and /etc/opt/samba before it would work.

Hi,

I've also had some troubles compiling samba. Just get the packages (from http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/):

gnu gcc
gnu make
binutils

Install them, make a softlink from cc to the gnu gcc.
Make a softlink to /bin/make to the gnu make you've just installed.

Then goto the source directory of samba and:
./configure --prefix=/opt/samba
make
make install

Done (probably :).
