[Samba] Building 3.6.12

[Gaiseric Vandal]

Had you posted about this last month?

For active directory support you will need to compile OpenLDAP. The ldap 
functionality in Solaris is NOT openldap.   I would that you will need 
to specify the path to the kerberos directory. Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 
have kerberos installed by default.  Not sure about Solaris 8 -  it used 
to be part of the SEAM tool kit?      If kerberos is not installed you 
will need to either download it from Sun/Oracle or compile from source.


--with-ads=yes \
--with-ldap=yes \
--with-krb5=/usr



Also make sure winbind and nsswitch support  is enabled. .     You may 
want to uninstall the samba 3.0.x packages to avoid confusing on which 
winbind/nsswitch libraries are being used.


I would also make sure that your Solaris 8 server is configured to use 
the Windows AD PDC as the DNS  master.    I did not configure my systems 
as AD members BUT I did configure trusts with AD servers.       Need to 
make sure the samba server can locate the AD server.      Doesn't hurt 
to make sure all servers are using the same WINS server-  although it 
shouldn't be relevant with AD.



You may also want to setup a  Solaris 10 test machine as well. Assuming 
you get Samba 3.6.x compile on Solaris 8, and you can't get it to join 
the AD domain, you will want some way to determine if the problem is 
with the samba config or if the problem is with the samba compile.       
If the identical config works on Solaris 10 but not Solaris 8, then you 
know you have a problem with the compile.    Solaris 10 will be 
diagnostic tool, not the production system.
