Re: [Samba] Upgrading samba 2.2.8a to 3.6.15 on Solaris 9 --> 3.6.15 brings all inetd services down
Hello, Jordan Verschuer a écrit : Hi samba friends, I'm upgrading our Samba 2.2.8a server to 3.6.15 on a Solaris 9 box, we need to do this as all our latest Mac OS X 10.8 clients cannot map to the 2.2.8a network share, and need the newer Samba (well known issue for mountain lion). My first question would be, why not use the Solaris Samba? IIRC, on S9, it was patched up to 3.something, which could be enough for your needs. I've compiled 3.6.15 and this seemed to go ok, no obvious errors were shown during .configure make and make install, and smbd -V gives output and seems ok, I've updated /etc/inet/inetd.conf and also added the same users to smbpasswd, I agree with Marc here: why inetd? It doesn't sound good. Also, I'm maintaining the OpenCSW Samba package for Solaris (http://www.opencsw.org/packages/CSWsamba/). It's currently 3.6.18 for Solaris 10. I've checked that it still builds for Solaris 9 with no trouble. I've put S9 packages there: http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/experimental.html#laurent You're welcome to try them and tell me if they work for you. OpenCSW is focusing on S10 at the moment, but if there is interest in S9, that could be kept running for a while.

Hello Jordan, Am 17.09.2013 01:28, schrieb Jordan Verschuer: However, after rebooting I can log on to swat and see that the smbd and nmbd services are running and I can make quick changes to the configuration, like adding a new user or updating the password, and I can even map to the share... for about a minute! After about 1 minute the swat/smbd/nmbd services stop... as well as all inetd services!! I don't know Solaris, but why are you starting Samba through Inetd and not as standalone? And what happens if you start it standalone? I never saw Samba through Inetd. But as I said: I'm not familiar with Solaris. :-) I cannot rlogin from a new terminal, or rsh or finger in the current terminal, however ssh still works but this isn't an inetd service. Has anyone got a clue as to what might be happening? It seems that something crashes the whole Inetd, what causes it's child processes automatically also to die. I haven't used Inetd any more for almost 15 years. Is there anything in the logs or a way to increase Inetd loglevel? I would try to avoid Inetd for starting samba. And why not updating to the latest Samba version? 3.6 goes into security only maintainance mode with it's next version.

Re: [Samba] Upgrading samba 3.3.x to 3.5.x old smbpasswd file and domainaccounts
Hm, I think the old way having a machine join the domain was at first a entry even in the passwd file called ex.: notetosh$:x:620:100:Workstation Account NT:/dev/null:/bin/false So there need to be a shadow account: notetosh$:!:13909:1:9:14::: This entry are all kept like users. If you make a pdbedit -L -w this entries are shown as users. So this entries should be exported as well. But after all Samba/openldap is the better choice. You only have to export your ldap database and import it to the next Samba/openldap and almost ready to run.
