I decided to have a look at 2.2.8pre2 on a Digital Unix box we run here - and "configure" runs fine like this :
./configure --with-winbind ... checking whether or not getgroups returns EGID too many times... no checking whether struct passwd has pw_comment... yes checking whether struct passwd has pw_age... no checking for poptGetContext in -lpopt... no checking whether to use included popt... ./popt checking configure summary... yes updating cache ./config.cache creating ./config.status creating include/stamp-h creating Makefile creating script/findsmb creating include/config.h include/config.h is unchanged But because I'm also interested in making use of winbind to fully integrate some of our Unixen into an NT domain, I decided I should configure Samba to use PAM as well, like this : ./configure --with-winbind --with-pam and this configure run fails : ... checking whether or not getgroups returns EGID too many times... yes checking whether struct passwd has pw_comment... yes checking whether struct passwd has pw_age... no checking for poptGetContext in -lpopt... no checking whether to use included popt... ./popt checking configure summary... configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config I'm just reporting this as a test result, though of course I'd be interested in any solution there may be (or explanation of "error: summary failure"). I'm happy to try any further tests you folks may want. Cheers Nick Boyce EDS Southwest Solution Centre, Bristol, UK
