[Samba] samba and ads authentication

[Tom Montague]

I am looking at setting up ADS authentication for my current samba
configuration. I am quite wary of making big changes that I do not
understand as there are shares currently setup and I do not want to lose
this.

 

I have read through the "how to's" and I am at the point where I want to
"Create the computer account" and running the command :-

            Net ads join -U administrator%password

 

I am getting the error "ADS support not compiled in"

 

The fix for this says...

 

Samba must be reconfigured (remove config.cache) and recompile (make
clean all install) after the Kerberos libraries and headers files are
installed.

 

 

How do I reconfigure samba? I have inherited this samba configuration
and I am not sure how/what was configured originally and I do not want
to lose the current configuration..

 

Can someone help me with this recompile command and what entries I
should add. I have some details below of the current configuration...

 

Samba version 3.0.23c

 

I found the following details in the config.log
