Hi,
(first post in this forum).
I've installed the rpm's as mentioned here. (
http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/RedHat/RPMS/i386/7.3/samba-2.2.11-1.i386.rpm and others.)
Everything seemed to work fine at first. Domain logons working etc... But suddenly both the smbd and nmbd processes stopped working (as they're both running under supervise they're restarting constantly ... producing enormous logfiles.).
I've checked my logfiles and this is what is see:
(in var/log/samba/log.nmbd):
----------------------------------------------------
[2004/10/01 10:29:08, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(784)
Incorrect program usage - is the command line correct?

So apparently - atleast for someone with litte experience - someone is trying to start the both the processes with a parameter "-F" which is not supported (anymore?).
Could anyone here please give a hint on how to get rid of this annoying problem? Is it possible to rollback the samba-2.2.11 release? I installed it due to the fact that WinXPSP2 clients could not log in, but later found out that it was due to the SignOrSeal registry stuff.
I would be enormously grateful for some help!

Some further investigation showed the following:
Apparently the samba-2.2.11 relasse for Redhat 7.3 doesn't include the patch (patch-2.2.11-2.2.12.diffs.gz) needed for nmbd/smbd running under supervise. That's why the parameters "-S -F" fail when supervise want's to start nmbd/smbd.
I do not know how to compile a rpm with the diff-patch included (and I assume it is impossible on sme-server because it's lacking libtool... etc). Is there anyone out there able to provide a compiled rpm including this patch?
Or did I get everything wrong somehow?
Still looking for help!!!
