[Samba] Applying ACL patches

[Noel Kelly]

David,

I think this has something to do with the patches that Redhat apply to their
kernel.  The solution is to get a generic kernel from kernel.org.  However
we did this with Redhat 6.2 and a 2.2.20 kernel and no end of kernel
instabilities - smbd proesses which get out of the kernel's control and
'runaway' with the processor forcing a reboot.  Also tried a 2.2.19 but same
result.

I can only think that the Redhat system binaries are missing something
patched in the kernel and causing this apoplexy.  Maybe their 2.4.x binaries
won't have this problem.

We have now given up on ACLs and resigned ourselves to using Samba's
security (which is more than adequate for 99% of the file sharing we need)
and Redhat's own kernels.  Any stuff which needs ACLs we just have a tiny
share on the Windoze PDC.

HTH,

Noel

Hello everybody

I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem. I have redhat 7.3 with
the 2.4.18-3 kernel and after applying the acl patches to the kernel,
running make menuconfig and make dep I then run make bzImage which produces
the following error:

ld -m elf_i386 -T /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-3/arch/i386/vmlinux.lds -e stext

Could someone give me any pointers as to where I'm going wrong?

Thanks for any help in advance!
