Here is the problem;

I am not able to map a drive from the Windows XP environment; When I try to map a drive I get the window asking for a user and password. Everything that I have tried has not worked. The entry window keeps asking for the same information. If I go to my network places and select GROUP1 I can see the server in the list. However if I click on it it returns the message of not accessible, the account is not authorized to log in from this station. I have tried using null passwords and setting a password on both the FreeBSD user and the Samba user.

I have deleted the Samba install and went through the configure, make, and the make install again as described in the Samba documentation. Same results. I have spent quite a few hours searching for answers.

I just want a simple access without any user or password information passed. When I use the security mode of "share" I get a ton of problem 2 below, but it maps a drive that I can see in "My Computer" but I still can't access it. I am using "user" because "share" has been deprecated. I have read every page of the book, "Using Samba" published by O'Rellly without any luck.

Has anybody installed samba 3.6.0.0 on a FreeBSD machine with version 8.2?

This is what I am trying to get at;
Code:
Prometheus# pwd
/storage2
Prometheus# 

Prometheus# ls -l
total 4
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  operator   512 May  4 08:47 .snap
drwxrwxrwx  22 root  wheel     1536 May 16 07:50 public
Prometheus#

Problem 1.
Code:
read_smb_length_return_keepalive failed for client 192.168.20.200 read error = NT_STATUS_END_OF_FILE.

I have not found anything usefull that could help me.

Problem 2.
Code:
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd: Undefined symbol "tdb_transaction_start_nonblock"

Found the following, build world, rebuild package/port causing the problem. Nothing relating to Samba. One solution was to load all of the compat?x packages which I did without any luck.

Is /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 part of Samba or FreeBSD. If FreeBSD what port/package does it belong to? Is it part of the base? How can you find what port/package a module belongs to?

Problem 3.
Code:
Forcing Primary Group to 'Domain Users' for nobody

If you look at the share I have force the group to wheel. I don't believe it is looking at the shares as I can't access the server. I have no idea where this is coming from or why.

Anybody have any ideas?

Did you write this conf from scratch?

The best way is to use the sample/default located in /usr/local/share/examples/samba35, set your security to share and then follow the example shares shown at the bottom. (this is an example from my system, read/write dump file)

Code:
[dump]
comment = Dump files here
path = /mnt/15tb/tmp
public = yes
writable = yes

Also ensure that the dir that you set here is owned by nobody:nogroup (user:group) if you wish to allow write access.

Edit: The first thing i would do is to load the said default conf file and just make sure everything works first then go and edit the file.
 
I had a hard drive failure that gave me the opportunity to get current. I was running FreeBSD 6.2 Release 1 with Samba version 3.0.12 without any problems.

I tried the file /usr/ports/net/samba-3.6.0/examples/smb.conf.default that was part of the install. I then used the previous config file that was used with my previous install that worked. Same results!

The only difference that I found looking at the config file is that the share has
Code:
public = no  or
public = yes
But it is not getting that far. However this parameter is a synonym for
Code:
guest ok

I believe that the problem may be related to the "Problem 2" in my original post.
Has anybody installed samba version 3.6.0.0 on a version 8.2 of FreeBSD?

Keith
 
I tried the file /usr/ports/net/samba-3.6.0/examples/smb.conf.default that was part of the install.

Are you sure about that.
As far as i know, samba 3.6 is not in the ports tree yet.

only samba 3.4.x and 3.5.x
I can not find this version on freshports.org either!


Well i found it on the bugtracker.
3.6.0 is still in testing phase, so i would run net/samba35

I would however contact timur (port maintainer) with the above error, maybe he can help you.

Sylhouette,

Here is where I got if from; http://www.samba.org/. I followed the instructions in the manual to install it. Here is the manual, http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/. I followed the path to the detail information from I. 1. It is in chapter 42, Part VI. With a brand new install why use an older version? From visiting other forums on the internet it appears to work with all kinds of Linux variations and with Macs. With the Linux compatibility, should it work with FreeBSD?

Keith
 
Ah.

Ok.
Delete samba from your server.

If you want to use 3.6.0, i think it is better to use the ports version that Timor has put together.
This way you get some patches against samba to fit FreeBSD.

You can find the port here

samba36-devel port

Download the patch.txt file and then do sh filename.
It wil create the port directoryy (samba36-devel) and copy that to /usr/ports/net
Then go to the port dir and do the usual make install clean routine.

Why use an older version, well that depend onyour definition of old.
3.6.0 is a new branch, and if you read the samba maillings list, there are some rough edges to it, as where 3.5.11 has had much more real live exposure and has lots of bugs fixed.

Also 3.5.11 runs good on FreeBSD, i do not think you will lose that much functionality by using the 3.5.11 port.
major change is the smb2 support in 3.6
But if you have only XP clients, you will not benefit from that either.

regards,
Johan
 
Johan,

I was going to try the FreeBSD ports for Samba. That was my next step. I was trying to see if I could get the version 3.6 to work, but that at this time it does not seem possible without a lot of effort. I see the 3.5.11 and 4.0.0 versions. I think that it may be better to stay away from the version 4. I will be gone for almost 2 weeks so I will have to wait until I return.

Thanks!

Keith
