Problem Installing Samba V2.2.8 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2

[Willis Ralph]

Caroline,

Here are my own notes from my own install. There is a some short comings
with the install process. 

The first time you run the install it will fail.  It will fail to find a
lock file to delete in 
SAMBA_ROOT:[VAR.LOCKS]*.tdb, add a file names xx.tdb before retrying the
install again. Also copy SAMBA_ROOT:[LIB]SMB.CONF_TEMPLATE SMB.CONF.
Then try again.

Subject: Problem Installing Samba V2.2.8 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2

Hello,

I hope someone can help me...I'm having a problem installing Samba
V2.2.8 on an OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2 machine, with DEC C V6.5.  (MultiNet
V5.1 is also installed on this machine.)

My problem happens when I run INSTALL.COM.  (A cut/paste of the problem
is
below.)

Just to summarize, I downloaded the install package
"samba-2_2_8-src-20050817.zip" from
http://www.pi-net.dyndns.org/anonymous/jyc/ and followed the
installation instructions:

  - $ unzip "-V" SAMBA-2_2_8-SRC-20050817.ZIP
  - $ back SAMBA-2_2_8-SRC-20050817.BCK/save/sel=[samba-2_2_8-src...]
        userc:[samba-2_2_8...]/own=system
  - $ set def userc:[samba-2_2_8.vms]
  - $ @build73  (NOTE:  I DIDN'T get any compile or link errors)
  - $ @install

(I should point-out that this is a new installation of Samba, although
this is the 2nd time that I tried to run the install, that is why you
see [SAMBA_NEW] in the SAMBA_ROOT default below.)

***
The following is the output (and error) that I get when running
INSTALL.COM:


        The Samba files reside in a directory tree pointed to by
        a logical SAMBA_ROOT.

Enter DEVICE:[DIRECTORY] for SAMBA_ROOT [AXP12$DKB100:[SAMBA_NEW]]:
userc:[SAMBA-2_2_8]

Creating Directories...
Copying files...
Setting file protections...
Granting identifier SAMBA_ROOT to SYSTEM UAF-I-ALRGRANT, SYSTEM already
granted SAMBA_ROOT identifier.
%DELETE-W-SEARCHFAIL, error searching for SAMBA_ROOT:[VAR.LOCKS]*.TDB;*
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found %SET-F-SEARCHFAIL, error searching for
SAMBA_ROOT:[LIB]SMB.CONF; -RMS-E-FNF, file not found
***
I took a quick look at INSTALL.COM and I see:

  $       copy 'vmsdir'smb.conf_template
samba_root:[lib]smb.conf_template

I don't see where SMB.CONF actually gets created.  I'm wondering if I
can just change the output name on the COPY command to SMB.CONF however,
I thought I would pose the question to this group since it looks like
others have successfully installed this on their systems and I don't see
anyone reporting this error.


Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!
