samba

[Jeffrey F. Goldsmith]

I am trying to install samba 3.0.2a on my HP-UX 11.i server. When I ran swinstall and try to do the install I get the following error. Anyone know what this means and how to fix it?

The corequisite "ncurses.ncurses-SHLIBS" for fileset "samba.samba-RUN,r=3.0.2a" cannot be successfully resolved.

Thanks for the help.

As the error message says, you do not have ncurces loaded onto the system. Load them first.

Thanks for the insight about needing to install ncurses. I was able to find the file and get it installed. Next I installed samba 3.0.2 onto my server without any problems.
Now, with my next question should I open a new question or ask it here?

Now that samba has been installed on my server where would it be located so I can get it working?

If you are using HP CIFS/Samba TP, then the binaries are in /opt/samba/bin, the config files in /etc/opt/samba, and various data files under /var/opt/samba. In this case, go back to the software.hp.com website and get the current TP that is 3.0.5.

If you are using opensource Samba, then everything is in /usr/local/samba. In this case, you should get our HP-UX 3.0.5 binaries off off samba.org.

If you are on CIFS/Samba, then go to www.docs.hp.com and get the CIFS admin guide and release notes. If you are using Opensource, then get "The Offical Samba-3".

It would be under /opt/samba.

To start it.
/sbin/init.d/samba
The config file /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf.

Also read the following documents. A good guide on Samba.

Thanks for the help. I was able to locate the correct file and now I have one more question. last month I installed samba 2.2.8a on my server and now I want to install samba 3.0.5. Do I just do an swremove on the old version and then do an swinstall on the new version?

With everyons help I was able to find the file I needed and got it downloaded.
