Samba

[Jeffrey F. Goldsmith]

One of my programmers is asking for Samba to be installed on our L2000 server. I dont know much about the program so if anyone could let me know where i can get a copy of it. Also, I would like to know more about the program.

My L2000 has HP-UX 11.0 installed. I also have a D380 that I just upgraded to HP-UX 11.i and Samba came with the upgrade.

You can download it from here:

There's documentation there as well.

Good luck

I was able to get SAMBA downloaded and installed. When i tried to configure it I got this error when it was done. Do I need to worry about this? What do I need to do to fix it?

Hi,

What do you get if you do

grep smbnull /etc/passwd and
grep smbnull /etc/group ?

Make sure these accounts are accessible by doing a 'su - smbnull'.

This is what i get:


root: /home ==> grep smbnull /etc/passwd
root: /home ==> grep smbnull /etc/group
smbnull::101:
root: /home ==>
root: /home ==> su - smbnull
su: Unknown id: smbnull
root: /home ==>

Hi Jeff,

'smbnull' account didn't get created. So run the command

#useradd -u 101 -g 101 -d /home/smbnull -m -k /etc/skel -s /usr/bin/ksh -c "DO NOT USE OR DELETE - needed by Samba" smbnull

#passwd -l smbnull

Then try configuring Samba again.
