Hi Samba Team
I have ported samba 3.0.11 to Solaris 8 because of the security warning for Samba 2.2.8a but it will not start from inetd. I have taken 3 weeks to find that it starts OK as a standalone daemon using a startup script /etc/init.d/samba
#!/bin/sh
# Samba startup
case $1 in 'start') echo "Starting smbd..." /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D echo "Starting nmbd..." /usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -D ;; 'stop') echo "Stopping smbd and nmbd..." /usr/bin/pkill -x -u 0 smbd /usr/bin/pkill -x -u 0 nmbd rm -f /usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid rm -f /usr/local/samba/var/locks/nmbd.pid ;; *) echo "usage: smb {start|stop}" ;; esac
The accompanying web pages indicate that the daemons are in /usr/local/samba/bin which is incorrect. They are in fact installed to /usr/local/samba/sbin. I suspect unless it is standalone on solaris 8 it gets thoroughly lost. I also suspect it is going back into the source for some modules and if they are not readable by all then it will fail.
