Hi,
to whomever it may concern.i am a novice linux user using Redhat 8.0 on kernel
2.4.
recently i installed samba 3.0 by compiling the sources and everything went
on smoothly till installation completed successfully.
but the samba doesnt start at all neither does the swat service.i did
everything as it was adviced to do.
* i compiled with options ==> --with-acl-support --with-libsmbclient
--with-msdfs --with-smbmount --with-smbwrapper --with-syslog for the configure
script and then ran make and make install programs.
* i have a NIC with ip assigned to it but DNS is not running.
* my /etc/services file has the swat entry.
* i inserted in the /etc/xinetd.d directory the swat file containing -
# description: swat is the samba web administration tool,which
#allows an administrator to configure samba using a web
#browser interface, with the URL http://localhost:901
service swat
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
protocol = tcp
only_from = localhost
user = root
log_on_failure += USERID
server = /usr/local/samba/sbin/swat
port = 901
disable = no
}
* my smb.conf file is -
[global]
workgroup = gp15
[test]
comment = For testing only, please
path = /usr/local/samba/tmp
read only = no
guest ok = yes
* i started the smbd and nmbd daemons.
* but on running
smbpasswd -a aditya
and entering the passwords, it is giving an error as follows...
Failed initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user aditya.
Failed to modify password entry for user aditya
* even i try to start the swat using
http://localhost:901 in mozilla but it too gives an error as...
www.localhost.com could not be found.please check the name and try again.
* my samba log files doesnt either contain anything worth mentioning here
* but on running the smbclient program, i get the following output...
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -U% -L localhost
