Can't start smbd on AIX 5.3 1

[gringomike]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install and configure SAMBA on AIX 5.3 but can't start smbd.

I've downloaded SAMBA 3.0.21 from the UCLA site below and extracted it successfully. I've also created my smb.conf file under the /etc directory and run testparm which seems to suggest everything is setup correctly.

http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/samba.html

I've also downloaded and installing the following 3 packages from the IBM Toolbox;

Samba
Samba-client
Samba-common

I've installed them using smitty and they all seemed to install ok too.

The nmbd daemon starts ok but smbd doesn't (I've also restarted the server and made sure the /etc/inetd.conf file has the correct entries).

Does anyone know if I've missed a step or if there's some problem with either of packages I've installed?

Thanks in advance,

GM

Sorry, I meant to say, when I tried to start the daemon manually I got the following error;

# /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D
Could not load program /usr/local/sbin/smbd:
Dependent module libpopt.a(libpopt.so.0) could not be loaded.
Could not load module libpopt.a(libpopt.so.0).
System error: No such file or directory
#


I then installed popt-1.7-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm and got the following error;


# /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D
Could not load program /usr/local/sbin/smbd:

Does this mean anything to anyone?!

I found a forum that asked me to try a few things in relation to my previous error;

# lslpp -l bos.rte.libc
Fileset Level State Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
bos.rte.libc 5.3.0.44 COMMITTED libc Library
# lppchk -v bos.rte.libc
#


The first command seems to execute fine but the second one doesn't return anything. Does this matter?

Thanks

Are your Asynchronous I/O servers enabled?

smitty posixaio

Perhaps the package you have has been compiled with aio support.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

I'm afraid I don't really know what I'm looking for here.
When I go into the "Change/show characteristics of Asynchronous I/O" the "State of fast path" field is set to enable.

When I run the following command though it returns nothing;

# lsdev -Cc postix_aio
#

Would this suggest that something isn't configured that ahould be?

Thanks

I seem to have managed to get round the previous error by enabling Asyncronous I/O (thanks!) but I now have another problem...

The nmbd daemon still starts OK but smbd returns the following error;

# /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D
Abort(coredump)
#

I also get the following when trying to find out a bit more information;

[gringomike]

I've got it working!

Something else was listening on port 139 so I removed the references to netbios-ssn and netbios-ns from inetd.conf and restated the daemon using 'refresh -s inetd'.

When I run /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D afterwards it works fine!
