Fresh Install 9.2 with samba36... need help!

[kjemison]

Hello,

Just did a basic install of FreeBSD 9.2 - no problems/errors. Ran portsnap fetch extract - no problems/errors. Changed directory to /usr/ports/net/samba36 and ran make install clean. I just used the defaults that were provided while installing this port - no problems/errors. Made an edit to /etc/rc.conf of

samba_enable="YES"

Rebooted the system and an error appeared:

WARNING: /var/db/samba is not a directory

Any ideas of why this port is not creating the correct directories upon installation? I never had this problem before. I loaded a system the exact same way about a month ago and had no problems whatsoever.

Thank you
Kell

I never had this problem before. I loaded a system the exact same way about a month ago and had no problems what so ever.

That is very strange. I just did a test install of net/samba36 on a FreeBSD-9.2 amd64 VM and it created the /var/db/samba directory for me. On my system this directory is empty immediately after installation, so I would suggest creating it manually with root:wheel ownership and 755 mode.

I can't explain why this might have happened.
