installing samba on a HP-UX 11.0 server

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi ,
Yes the s/w should be on the application cds.  Samba does not allow you to
mount nt filesystems, except with the smbmount command that is only
available on a couple of pc opsys's like linux.  The CIFS/9000 client will
give you this functionality (via cifsmount, cifsumount).  The nt server
needs no special software; that is the purpose of cifs/9000 client; it
allows you to mount NT shares, and make it look like (to HP-UX) that they
are nfslike mounts, without having to have nfs on the nt box.
You can get more information and manuals on the products via the following

l?group_type=search&group_name=cifs> &group_name=cifs
 
Hope this helps,
Don

Where do you get the CIFS software - application CD? 

Can it mount a NT filesystem that is shared or does the NT server need some
kind of NFS software to export the filesystem? 

I cannot find anything that says I can use Samba to mount a NT filesystem on
a UNIX box (other than Linux).

Hi, 
You know, HP-UX 11.0 ships with two products already there, CIFS/9000 SERVER

(samba version 2.0.6) and CIFS/9000 CLIENT (gives you similar capabilities 
to smbmount).  You might want to try using these, instead of trying to 
compile/install the 2.0.7 version from scratch. You can use swinstall to 
install both or either of the products; they are no-charge. HP is working on

a 2.0.7 version for sometime next year as well.  
But I HAVE heard of someone having this problem before - let me see what I 
can dig up about the configure script problem... 
Hope this helps, 
Don

When running ./samba-2.0.7/source/configure It aborts with the following:  

... 
checking whether to support disk-quotas... no 
checking whether to support utmp accounting... no 
checking whether to install Using Samba book... ${prefix}/swat/using_samba 
checking how to get filesystem space usage 
checking statvfs64 function (SVR4)... yes 
checking if large file support can be enabled 
yes 
checking configure summary 
WARNING: No automated network interface determination 
ERROR: no seteuid method available 
configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config 

How do I fix this?

Also, can I use samba to mount NT filesystems on my HP-UX server? 


Thanks.
