Hi Samba Team
I have ported samba 3.0.11 to Solaris 8 because of the security warning
for Samba 2.2.8a
but it will not start from inetd. I have taken 3 weeks to find that it
starts OK as a standalone daemon
using a startup script /etc/init.d/samba
#!/bin/sh
# Samba startup
case $1 in
'start')
echo "Starting smbd..."
/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D
echo "Starting nmbd..."
/usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -D
;;
'stop')
echo "Stopping smbd and nmbd..."
/usr/bin/pkill -x -u 0 smbd
/usr/bin/pkill -x -u 0 nmbd
rm -f /usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid
rm -f /usr/local/samba/var/locks/nmbd.pid
;;
*)
echo "usage: smb {start|stop}"
;;
esac
The accompanying web pages indicate that the daemons are in
/usr/local/samba/bin which is incorrect. They are in fact installed to
/usr/local/samba/sbin. I suspect unless it is standalone on solaris 8
it gets thoroughly lost. I also suspect it is going back into the
source for some modules and if they are not readable by all then it will
fail.
