I believe the site to which you originally refered has a pre-build archive available. I built from source using Compaq C V6.5-001 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3 with Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.3 with only one minor linker warning. I also needed to add a SET NOON to INSTALL.COM before the section that sets file permissions.
Perhaps someone else can answer the password query. I am accessing the Samba/VMS file systems from Win2k and so are using encrypted passwords stored in SMBPASSWD.DAT and changed/updated using a user-level access to SWAT. SWAT seems a very useful tool for configuring the essentials of a Samba installation using a privileged login (especially for the likes of myself that need a few basic services and have little experience). > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael D.
