Hi,

Im trying to get Samba 3.4.0 working on a Solaris 10 Unix Host but I am having issues.

I downloaded the source code and compiled it myself with the --without-winbind option as we do not want to use winbind authentication.

The main points in the smb.conf are configured in the following way:

Code:
[global]
workgroup = DARREN
server string = %h - Samba %v
security = domain
passdb backend = tdbsam

And I have created the following map:

Code:
[samba]
path = /sambaTest
read only = no
directory mask = 0755
valid users = accdarren

Ive managed to get Samba working successfully in the past and am really struggling to find out the issue.

When I try and connet from my windows machine to the host the log for my machine says:

Code:
saf_fetch: failed to find server for "DARREN" domain

and

Code:
startlmhosts: Can't open lmhosts file /usr/local/samba/lib/lmhosts. Error was No such file or directory

The smbd and nmbd procs look to come online OK but each time I try and connect I get prompted for username and password and even with the correct details it will not work.

Has anyone got any ideas what the issue could be?

Many thanks,
Darren
