Hello,
 
I am trying to set up Samba in a Solaris 10 system.
Solaris 10 already has Samba installed, so I just want
to make configuration changes in smb.conf and then
start the service. We already have a smb.conf file
from a RHEL 3 system where Samba works fine. So I
tried to use the same smb.conf file for Solaris. But
on running "testparm /etc/sfw/smb.conf", I get the
following error.
----------------------
Load smb config files from /etc/sfw/smb.conf

        read only = No
-------------------
 
It seems that the system does not have the files
/usr/sfw/lib/upcase.dat, /usr/sfw/lib/lowcase.dat and
/usr/sfw/lib/valid.dat. I'm not sure if there is any
other problem.
 
How can I make this work? Thanks for any help.

 

Hi

I had the same problem when setting up Samba on a Solaris 10 platform.  In
the end I found that I just had to create symbolic links in /usr/sfw/lib/ to
/usr/sfw/lib/codepages/lowercase , /usr/sfw/lib/codepages/upcase.dat and
/usr/sfw/lib/codepages/valid.dat



e.g 


cd /usr/sfw/lib/
ln -s ./codepages/lowercase lowercase
ln -s ./codepages/upcase.dat upcase.dat
ln -s ./codepages/valid.dat valid.dat
testparm now seems to run cleanly now

I do not understand however why the links are not created by the Solaris
install.
