Tested on OpenLinux 2.3, should work with eServer or eDesktop
Tested on kernel 2.2.19 should work fine under 2.2.18 or less
Do these steps as root
first, if samba is running, shut it down with the following command
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d<enter>
../samba stop<enter>
../samba stop<enter> (for good measure)
use 'ps ax' to see if any smbd or nmbd processes are still
floating around,
if so, use kill -9 to remove them (check with your users first
though).
obtain samba-2.2.0 source tarball (www.samba.org)
unpack in /usr/local/src (that's where I usually unpack tarballs, btw)
remove samba and samba-doc rpm with
rpm -e samba<enter>
rpm -e samba-doc<enter>
rpm --rebuilddb<enter> (this rebuilds database)
updatedb<enter> (updates find database, I think)
mv /usr/sbin/smbmount /usr/sbin/smbmount.old<enter>
(saves old versions of
mv /usr/sbin/smbumount /usr/sbin/smbumount.old<enter>
these programs)
cd /usr/local/src/samba-2.2.0<enter>
now if this is the first time unpacking this tarball, skip
down
to the line "Now to the fun part", otherwise start with 'make
clean' below.
make clean<enter> (removes old object files *.o
stuff)
make uninstall<enter> (removes potential stuff lying
around)
rm config.cache<enter> (removes any caching
directives)
cd include<enter>
rm config.h<enter>
cd ..
Now to the fun part, since I don't use ssl on my system
(I should, but that's another story), issue the following
command to configure a working 2.2.0 for your OpenLinux 2.3
box.
../configure --prefix=/usr \
--exec-prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var/log \
--libdir=/etc/samba.d \
--infodir=/usr/info \
--mandir=/usr/man \
--without-smbwrapper \
--with-smbmount \
--with-pam \
--with-privatedir=/etc/samba.d \
--with-lockdir=/var/lock/samba.d \
--with-swatdir=/usr/share/swat \
--with-sambabook=/usr/doc/samba-2.2.0<enter>
Note: if you want SSL support, add the line '--with-ssl'
after the
--with-pam line. I used Les Bell's information to get
OpenSSL
0.9.6a working on my linux box.
This will configure and build a make file so that it will
install
on your system (I simply cut and pasted this from Doug's
example,
as I hate to type).
Now, as Doug has stated, edit the Makefile with vi Makefile
Note: in Samba-2.2.0, the lines SMBLOGFILE and NMBLOGFILE
have
been replaced with a single line called:
LOGBASEFILE = $(VARDIR)
Make this line look like this:
LOGFILEBASE = $(VARDIR)/samba.d
find the SBINDIR line per Doug's instructions and make
it look like this (2.0.7 or 2.2.0alpha-2):
SBINDIR = ${exec_prefix}/sbin
find the PASSWD_PROGRAM line per Doug's instructions
and make it look like this (2.0.7 or 2.2.0alpha-2):
PASSWD_PROGRAM = /usr/bin/passwd
write the file out with :wq<enter>
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
In Samba 2.0.7 or earlier, the log files for nmbd and smbd
in
/var/log/samba were:
smbd
nmbd
In Samba-2.2.0 the names have been changed to log.smbd and log.nmbd
When this version is installed, it will make log files
for
smbd and nmbd that look like this in /var/log/samba.d:
log.smbd
log.nmbd
for those of you who do NOT like this behavior, you will
need to
modify the following files:
in <path>/source/nmbd/nmbd.c (where <path> is where you unpacked the tarball)
change line 671 from this:
slprintf(debugf, sizeof(debugf), "%s/log.nmbd", LOGFILEBASE);
to
slprintf(debugf, sizeof(debugf), "%s/nmbd", LOGFILEBASE);
in <path>/source/smbd/server.c (whete <path> is
where you unpacked the
tarball)
change line 629 from this:
slprintf(debugf, sizeof(debugf), "%s/log.smbd", LOGFILEBASE);
to
slprintf(debugf, sizeof(debugf), "%s/smbd", LOGFILEBASE);
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ENDS ***
then type the following (actually building the binaries):
make<enter> (this will compile the whole thing from
scratch)
make install<enter> (this will put everything where it
is supposed to go)
ldconfig<enter> (I think this updates the system run
time link bindings)
ldconfig -v<enter> (to list bindings)
Now in Doug's instructions, it says to make the following lines point to
a. Change /usr/sbin/smbd to /usr/bin/smbd
b. Change /usr/sbin/nmbd to /usr/bin/nmbd
Now, on my system, I find this is not needed, since smbd and
nmbd
are installed in /usr/sbin (at least that's where I see them
at).
run updatedb again to update the find database
Now the moment of truth :)
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d<enter>
issue the following
../samba start<enter>
and you should get back from the system:
Starting samba: smbd nmbd.
and if you do ps ax<enter> you should see lines like this:
31074 ? S 0:00 smbd -D -d1
31076 ? S 0:00 nmbd -D -d1
31077 ? S 0:00 nmbd -D -d1
in your process list
and if you check /var/log/samba.d/smbd and nmbd you should see this:
[2001/02/07 23:00:05, 1] smbd/server.c:main(641)
smbd version 2.0.7 started (or 2.2.0alpha-2)

nmbd/asyncdns.c:start_async_dns(150)
started asyncdns process 31077
and if so, the last thing to do is to test to see if you
can
connect to the linux box from a win9x/ME/NT/2000 machine.
Important note, I posted a notice about not being able to
figure out why
nmbd and smbd were not showing up in the process list, and
someone on IRC
suggested the use of strace /usr/sbin/smbd<enter> to see
exactly what
was going on, and the listing revealed it was trying to access
log files
and smb.conf in the wrong place, so this is a useful tool to
have, if you
have a program which appears to die for no reason what so
ever.
