HI.
I am still having problems installing samba. i found a site where there is a package for auto install. i click on the link and it start to data stream, what going on, i thought it suppose to install it to /usr/local/ . Here is the link i download or try to download the package..http://www.filibeto.org/sun/solaris_8.htm
Is this the wrong package please advise. thank you in advance.
It's a bit an old version of samba 2.0.7. The latest version is 2.2.2 and you cuold get it from www.samba.org as source code/tarball or from sunfreeware as precompiled version for intel/sparc solaris 2.5/7-8 systems.
just uncompress this file and add it by
pkgadd -d samba-file
I think it's better when you'll install a precompiled version of samba for soalris/intel 8.
The file calls
samba-2.2.2-sol8-intel-local.gz.
You can get it from every solaris resouce site, because this is the "official" desciption for it.
unpack it
gunzip -d samba-2.2.2-sol8-intel-local.gz
install it
pkgadd -d samba-2.2.2-sol8-intel-local
( samba 222 is finally insatleld in usr/local/samba. That's it )
Now you can configure your samba server.
