The source code compiles fine. The daemons (smbd,nmbd) both crash upon startup with the same error. I posted a message in March to this list and also submitted a bug report (actually, a similar bug, 3084, has already been submitted).

The bug I think has something to do with the way locales handling has changed in glibc 2.4. I *think* the bug possibly is also trigged in some perl code as well when using the "Locale::gettext" module but I have yet to get proof that glibc 2.4 is the cause. For Samba, you can look at the bug report if you want. Smbd/nmbd crash at gconv_db.c line 232.

Having said this, I don't have any confidence in all this because I am not a genius and my system is kind of a mess. It would be nice if someone could tell me if samba 3.0 works with glibc 2.4 on their system.

Samba 4.0 seems to start up fine but with the config file examples I've seen it is not clear if Samba 4. will work for me. I don't have a kerberos authentication setup in my home network and it is unclear if I will need this to run Samba 4.


Cheers,
Eric

I just want to set up a simple share to share my Linux home directory to a
Windows PC and a Mac OS X.  Can this be done with Samba 4?  Does anyone
have a sample config file that works?
