Topic: newbe trying to figure out a samba install

[toddw]

I have just installed an SME 7.0 Server and I am trying to make it into a PDC to use in a distributed enviorment. I am working on installing Samba 3.0.10, when I try to build the RPM for it I get an error like below,

configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: WARNING: invalid host type:

Then after about 20 more lines of checks it errors out with this message,


checking build system type... config.sub: missing argument
Try config.sub --help' for more information.
configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub   failed
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.97330 (%build)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.97330 (%build)

being new to linux I am perplexed as to what  and where I need to change the config.sub to make this work I found the file in question but now sure on how to change it to make it work.
Any help would be welcome at this time.

SaMBa 3.0.10 is the version already running on your SMEServer, why are you trying to install it again?

If you are using 7RC3, it already has Samba 3.0.10 Installed. To make it a pdc, log into server-manager, and under workgroup tell it to be a domain controller. You also might want to have a look at the documentation section.
(there is a button for it on your left)

I am currently trying to use the server for an ldap/Samba PDC. then replicate the ldap using slurpd to my file servers to control access to file shares from user accounts/machine accounts, so I need acl-support, profile support, msdfs, and ldapsam support.
is there a place that I can see what the default samba build comes with? I looked at the admin guide but did not see anything about that sort of stuff in there.

Your first message suggested that you are having problems building an RPM, in your second message it looks like you are wanting to make some pretty drastic changes to your SMEServer.

I seem to recall a while ago someone was trying to do a similar thing to what you want to achieve, if I was you I suggest you have a look back through the forums and see how far people have got with LDAP & slurpd in the past.  You may save yourself time attempting to replicate what others have already done.

There are no compile tools on the SME server itself, the recommendations are to build from Centos, But as the others say it already come's with that version
