Samba for VMS

[Stephen L Arnold]

On 18 Jul 99, "Weiss, Robert" <WeissR at philau.edu> had questions 
about Samba for VMS:  

> I just installed Samba for VMS (1.9.17p4) on a DecServer 1000A
> running VMS 7.1 

This is a *very* old version of samba...

I'm not sure; I would recommend upgrading to at least 1.9.18 (p10). 
You will then have encrypted password support.  Get the source 
package.  If you can't use (or don't have) the VMS C compiler, then 
get gcc.  The Makefile is fairly easy to setup (I'm sure there's a 
block of compiler flags for VMS; they're already there for a bunch 
of other systems).  

> My second question involves the setup error message I received...

Sorry, can't help there (I'm somewhat familiar with VMS fortran and 
some system services, but that's about it).  I'd start reading 
those great DEC manuals...
