Samba Newbie

[Kevin Barry]

Please ignore my previous message I remembered to go to the cd images
for RH 7.2 to load the missing Samba file which I did and set it to run
automatically with the 'ntsysv' command app. The samba 'parameter'
commands still do not work although I have verified from the system
monitor that the smbd and nmbd services are working. Also a check of the
network places in Win XP shows the Samba PC. When I run the 'smbstatus'
command I get the following error "Failed to open byte range locking
database ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database  Can't initialise
locking module - exiting"

The smbd log file does not yet contain any entries although the nmbd
does contain the following:
nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb,c:become_local_master_stage2(405)

Samba name server KEVIN is now a local master browser for workgroup
WORKGROUP on subnet 192.168.0.6

Any suggestions would be welcome on the error.

Thanks

Kevin

Luis,

Thanks for the response to my message. You're right I don't have all the
files installed just the client and common files with the versions of
2.2.1a-4 but when I use the GnoRPM app to add the common file I get
dependency errors as the latest version seems to be 2.0.10-0.7. When I
download the latest version from the Red Hat site and use the command
rpm -Uvh samba -file name I get the error code that 'libreadline.so.4.1'
is required although I have searched all over I cannot find the needed
files. Do you have any suggestions?

Kevin

Did you get the latest samba ? Plus which one are you using the tar or
the rpm . If your using the rpm make sure that you down load all 3 rpms
.

That's how I got mind to work

Samba.-xx
Samba-common
Samba-client

do a rpm -q samba to see if you did install it right.

If you have trouble setting it up I could help you.
