Had you posted about this last month?

For active directory support you will need to compile OpenLDAP. The ldap functionality in Solaris is NOT openldap. I would that you will need to specify the path to the kerberos directory. Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 have kerberos installed by default. Not sure about Solaris 8 - it used to be part of the SEAM tool kit? If kerberos is not installed you will need to either download it from Sun/Oracle or compile from source.


--with-ads=yes \
--with-ldap=yes \
--with-krb5=/usr



Also make sure winbind and nsswitch support is enabled. . You may want to uninstall the samba 3.0.x packages to avoid confusing on which winbind/nsswitch libraries are being used.


I would also make sure that your Solaris 8 server is configured to use the Windows AD PDC as the DNS master. I did not configure my systems as AD members BUT I did configure trusts with AD servers. Need to make sure the samba server can locate the AD server. Doesn't hurt to make sure all servers are using the same WINS server- although it shouldn't be relevant with AD.



You may also want to setup a Solaris 10 test machine as well. Assuming you get Samba 3.6.x compile on Solaris 8, and you can't get it to join the AD domain, you will want some way to determine if the problem is with the samba config or if the problem is with the samba compile. If the identical config works on Solaris 10 but not Solaris 8, then you know you have a problem with the compile. Solaris 10 will be diagnostic tool, not the production system.

All,

I'm trying to build Samba 3.6.12 on Solaris 8 sparc using studio 12. Is this 
the correct forum to ask questions?

This is my first build so any tips/tricks are appreciated.

What are the prerequisites to get samba to compile so that it will join an AD 
domain?

TIA,
-Kevin
