Hello,
I just compiled the latest samba src. with the sysconfdir option as seen
below:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba/3.0.9 --sysconfdir=/etc/samba
After installing it and configuring the smb.conf in /etc/samba I ran
testparm.
It failed, cause the smb.conf wasn't found:
...
Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/3.0.9/lib/smb.conf
params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file
"/usr/local/samba/3.0.9/lib/smb.conf":
No such file or directory
Error loading services.
...
I know, that if I specifiy the location of the smb.conf, it would run
correctly (testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf).
Also starting Samba will fail due to this error. After using the -s
options samba will start...
My Question: Is the sysconfdir deprecated? Or is there any other solution
to set the smb.conf location?
I don't want to work with links or hide my smb.conf somewhere deep
inside...
Thanks,
bastian
