[Samba] Samba 3.2.1 not detecting interface in Solaris 10 x86

[Jake Carroll]

Jerry,

Thanks for the feedback. In this instance, what specific log would you  
like to see? Would you like me to turn samba log verbosity up? As for  
compiling myself, no, I was given this binary set by a friend who is,  
in theory at least, running on identical hardware and an identical  
environmental setup.

I'll dump some verbose logging here:

There is where things become odd I guess. It says that the interface  
is there, but why can it not find an address? The interface is clearly  
there, and up!

#ifconfig nge1
nge1: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500  
index 5
	inet 192.168.117.141 netmask ffffff80 broadcast 192.168.117.255
	groupname ipmp1
	ether 0:14:4f:4a:1:81

Thanks!

Additionally, if I want to compile for Solaris 10 x86 myself,  
including *all* auth methods (ADS, LDAP, krb etc), is there a good  
starting point/tutorial you could point me towards? I'd very much like  
to try compiling myself, but I am having problems finding a good,  
reliable tutorial or how-to in this respect. They all seem to offer  
small snippets of information, but not the whole picture, and  
moreover, not a correct one!
