I ran into many problems upgrading from Samba 2.2.0a to 2.2.5. In the long
run, all these problems were mine, caused by lack of understanding of what
was going on. I was missing many SuSE Development packages at first that I
had to install. Then it took me a day to figure out that I had to run
./configure from the Samba source to build the Makefile and the proper
headers.
I feel confident that the next upgrade will go a lot smoother. I learn
from my mistakes so I learned a lot.
I am able to map drives and everything seems to work fine. However I see
the following messages in the log:
Jul 14 20:07:18 ibm9672 smbd[2944]: [2002/07/14 20:07:18, 0]
smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(229)
Jul 14 20:07:18 ibm9672 smbd[2944]: Unable to initgroups. Error was
Operation not permitted
These ring a bell so I spent most of the day researching it. I pretty much
came up empty. I know it has something to do with account "nobody" but can
no longer find my notes. Do I need to worry about these messages? Is there
anyway to eliminate them?
Thanks to everyone that responded. Your assistance was much appreciated.

Peter,
I just executed the rpm rebuild on my SuSE 7.0 system, with the 2.2.16
kernel. It seemed to work fine for me. The error you report is generated
by the configure command in /usr/src/packages/BUILD/samba-2.2.5/source/.
You might take a look at the config.log file in that directory. The very
last thing that I have in mine is this:
configure:13522: checking for poptGetContext in -lpopt
configure:13541: gcc -o conftest -O -O2 -Wall -O -D_GNU_SOURCE
-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE conftest.c -lpopt -ldl -lnsl -lpam 1>&5
configure:13565: checking whether to use included popt
configure:13580: checking configure summary
configure:13589: gcc -o conftest -O -O2 -Wall -O -D_GNU_SOURCE
-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE conftest.c -ldl -lnsl -lpam -lpopt 1>&5
In file included from configure:13586:
tests/summary.c:4: warning: return-type defaults to `int'
Yours will probably have some sort of error with the compilation of the
summary check.

I tried the suggestion below because it looked the easiest. I get the
following when I do the 'rpm --rebuild samba-2.2.5-0.src.rpm
checking whether to use traditional smbpasswd file... yes
--More--configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.98694 (%build)
checking whether to use NISPLUS_HOME... no
checking whether to use SSL... no
checking whether to use syslog logging... yes
When I do SMBD -V I still get Version 2.2.0a
I looked over samba.conf but being the newbie I am, I really do not see
anything that stands out. Does anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated.

Thanks.
Another solution is to download the src rpm for samba 2.2.5 from :
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/lmuelle/src/
Depending on the options you need you will probably have to modify the
spec for the rpm to tune it to your needs. If not you can rebuild directly
from the src rpm using :
rpm --rebuild samba-2.2.5-0.src.rpm
If you have to change the spec file (it contains the configure command)
then first install the src rpm
rpm -i samba-2.2.5-0.src.rpm
Then modify the spec file, I think you will find it in
/usr/src/packages/SPEC
(don't forget the increase the Release field after each modification of
the spec file)
Then build the s390.rpm files using
rpm -bb samba.spec
Have fun with it,
Tim
