Installing Samba
- Thread starter rvickers
- Start date
I've just done this. Assuming you've got a C compiler (I used the IBM version rather than gcc)
1) Download and extract samba-3.0.11.tar.gz
2) cd wherever/samba-3.0.11/source
3) run './configure'
4) run 'make'
5) run 'make install'
This installs samba in /usr/local/samba/sbin smb.conf and in /usr/local/samba/lib (plus quite a lot of other stuff.
I did have problems with a library libiconv which I also had to download and build in the same way.

Once done be sure to define (add) your samba users with the command "smbpasswd -u username". Once each user has been defined it will be much easier for them to access. Also, you might want to download and install "webmin" which is a browser based configuration tool which actually supports Samba quite well.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I downloaded a precompiled Samba3.0.10 and when I run any command, for example smbclient -L hostname, I get errors caused by "libldap.a(libldap-2.2.so.7) could not be loaded. So, I downloaded the libldap-2.2.23-alt2.i586.rpm but when I rpm it I get more dependency problems. Is there a better solution than what I'm trying? Would I be better off loading an older version of Samba on AIX 5.2?

If you want to install from a package, install the OpenSSL package as well. (Don't think you would need OpenLDAP but you can install that if you have problems)
You can find it on the IBM freeware page or Bullfreeware.
I recently had problems with the package you're trying to install.
I then had to download, install gcc and compile.
configure --prefix=/opt/samba
make
make install
Then I installed the mkinstallp fileset and created a package for my other machines.
By the way, if you're joining a Windows domain and using a user map file to map Unix users to Windows Users, remember to use the domain name as well. (I found out the hard way)
eg. root = NTDOM\\administrator
Good Luck
