We are having problems getting Samba to run on our QNX4 server.
We are currently running NFS to access QNX files from Windoz… We would also
like to offer access thru Samba.
We downloaded ‘samba-qnxbin-2.0.7.tgz’ from the QNX web site, unpacked it
and ran ‘make install’.
We created the simple ‘pcguest’ smb.conf in the /usr/local/samba/lib
directory.
We added the ‘pcguest’ entry in the /etc/passwd file.
We verified that /etc/services has the ‘netbios’ lines.
So far, so good.
When we start ‘smbd’ from the command line (logged in as root), smbd aborts
and we get the following entries in the ‘log.smb’ file.
[2000/10/03 18:19:11, 1] smbd/server.c:(641)
smbd version 2.0.7 started.

Does anyone know what the error message ‘Samba cannot create a SAM SID’

Any suggestion what the problem might be and how ro correct it?

Have you installed the password/Security Fix.
For this Samba Binary the fixes need to be applied to QNX, TCP/IP, Photon,
Watcom, etc…

This is very odd. Most people just follow the readme instructions and
are up and running. Can you get your hands on a freshly installed QNX4
machine with the latest patches (including the security patch!) and then
install samba again per instructions in the
samba-qnxbin-2.0.7.tgz.readme file? (Note that you can easily setup your
smb.conf file using SWAT.)
Judging from the error log, it would suggest there’s a problem with the
locking directory /usr/local/samba/private/. But on a fresh install,
things should get setup correctly…
good luck,
rick
Your website doesn’t seem to display the contents of the
samba-qnxbin-2.0.7.tgz.readme file. It contains an important note about
needing the security patch for this version to work. When I click on the
link accompanying the tgz file, I would expect to see the contents of
this file, but all I get is a blank page with the logo. Telneting
directly to QUICS does show the file to exist, however.
Thanks

It seems that the information is there, but not displayed in Netscape.
The source of the page shows that a javascript is taking special actions
for Netscape, among others:
=========================================================
<!-- Begin to hide script contents from old browsers.
browser=0;
if (((navigator.appName == “Netscape”) &&
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 3 )) ||
((navigator.appName == “Microsoft Internet Explorer”) &&
(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4 )))
{
browser=1;
}
if (browser == 1)
{
…
Currently I’m using Netscape version 4.72. Could you have a look,
please?
thanks stacks,
rick
By the way: where can I find the samba package to download it? I can’t find
it in the web and I can´t use the package manager to do it because I can’t
make my modem work.

Package Manager applies to QRTP, not to QNX4.
You can get samba binaries at ftp.qnx.com
