Hi list,
I got Samba3 to build with the small code change that Ken Hall pointed out
(warning: have at least 1.5GB free space - "make clean" will free most of
it up after the build). I got basic SMB shares working with the smbpasswd
file (warning: it seems the "valid users = %S" in the homes section of the
default SLES-8 smb.conf file breaks the homes shares).
I then tried to join an Active Directory domain without success. As I
understand it, Samba3 looks like a Windows 2000+ member joining while
Samba2 looks like an NT4 member (and thus requires the AD server to be in
"mixed mode", aka "hybrid mode"). Ken and Lucius suggested MIT kerberos -
I spent some time on this, but it seems too much like major surgery and
almost certainly won't be supported by the distributors.
Do any of the SuSE or Red Hat developers have their ears on? When will a
Samba3 RPM be available? Thanks.
