Assuming you are in a temp directory, just delete that .toc file. Untzip and untar the opt-samba-3.0.24-AIX5.tar.gz and opt-samba-base packages from http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/AIX/ in the same directory. Then follow the instructions from the README file with the "installp -lE -d." and "installp -agYX -d. all" commands. Hope this helps. ---Hillel -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] SAMBA on AIX --> nsswitch.conf?

There is a nice description commented in the default file installed with AIX. It is also overriden with the NSORDER environment variable. ---Hillel -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Link AD to pre-existing UNIX accounts
Are there AD users who need Samba access and do not have Unix accounts? If so, is there a problem giving them Unix accounts? I have a server set up to do this, but all of the users have local Unix accounts as well as AD accounts. Basically, set up Samba as an AD member server and just do not use windbindd. All permission information for the shares in smb.conf can then use the Unix user and group names instead of those in AD, and Samba will still use the AD credentials for Windows client access. You will have to map DOMAIN\administrator to root (if you want adminstrator to have Samba access) and any other domain user with a different domain login than their Unix login in the Samba usermap file. Hope this helps. ---Hillel On Mon, 23 Apr 2007 14:17:42 + (UTC), CG wrote > I'm trying to use winbindd to enumerate and link AD users to their > pre- existing UNIX accounts.

Re: [Samba] Samba 3.0.24 on AIX
OK. I tried it with "unset LIBPATH" and it works. However, AFAICT it is not mentioned anywhere in the README on the samba.org AIX binary web page or in any README file that came with the pware samba packages. Thanks. ---Hillel On Tue, 27 Mar 2007 15:09:55 -0400 (EDT), William Jojo wrote > > If you check the README, there should be a section that says you > should "unset LIBPATH" prior to running the software and this will > force the software to use the libraries and paths embedded in the executable. > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Samba 3.0.24 on AIX
That was it? Cool, it works now! Thanks for fixing it. See previous posts on Swat not working with root on AIX. There is still one issue with the pware samba distribution. To use the samba programs and utilities, the library files sitting in /opt/pware/lib are required to be in the LIBPATH ahead of any directories that might have libraries with the same names. However, setting the LIBPATH environment variable as such messes with just about everything else outside of samba (or, more accurately, outside of pware provided packages). For running smbd, nmbd, winbindd, and swat, I wrote a short script in /opt/pware/sbin that just sets PATH and LIBPATH evironment variables and then runs the corresponding program with all the desired arguments. I then set this script as the startup for nmbd and smbd in the AIX system resource controller and for swat in inetd.conf. This gets around the environment problem of having to start or restart the daemon processes or swat. However, any user on an AIX terminal window who sets the environment to use the samba command line utilities cannot do anything else in that terminal window. ---Hillel On Tue, 27 Mar 2007 10:07:26 -0400 (EDT), William Jojo wrote > > Yeah, that's my bad.

[Samba] SWAT not logging in with root
Hello, I am trying to set up a samba server for a few shared directories on AIX 5.3. It is running in a Windows 2000 domain. It now seems to share properly, but swat does not accept any login ID. I set up swat with the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf entries as per the manual. When I use a browser to "http://myserver:901"; I get a login box for name and password, but it does not accept the root password. My system is configured to authenticate with ADS, but I am not using winbindd as I still want to maintain permissions with the local Unix users and groups. The swat log file shows the error: auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_passcheck(810) smb_pam_passcheck: PAM: smb_pam_auth failed - Rejecting User root ! Here is the global section of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = MYDOMAIN realm = MYDOMAIN.COM server string = Samba Server security = ADS log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 local master = No dns proxy = No hosts allow = 172.16.2., 172.16.100., 127. username map = /opt/pware/samba/3.0.24/lib/usermap.conf Thanks. ---Hillel -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Active Directory Migration

[Samba] smb.conf variables not substituting
Hello, I am running Samba 3.0.0rc1 on Red Hat 8 with a 2.4.21 kernel patched for ACL support. I am trying to set up Samba to work as a member of a Win2k domain with AD. It seems to be authenticating users off of AD for connecting to the server, but I am having some trouble setting up the home share. It seems that the single character variables used in smb.conf (%U, %D, etc.) are not substituting their values. For example, the line "template homedir = /usr/export/user/%u" in the [global] section caused the creation of a directory called "%u" under "/usr/export/user" when it should have been substituted with the user name. If I try "%U" instead in smb.conf, it seems to have no value. For example, in the [homes] share section, "path = /usr/export/user/%U" is mapping to "/usr/export/user/". Any ideas on what would cause this? Thanks. ---Hillel -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
