HOWTO

# Samba
# =====
# Slackware 14.0: samba 3.6.8
# Slackware 14.1: samba 4.1.0
# Slackware 14.2: samba 4.4.4
# Slackware 15.0: samba 4.15.5

# I have multiple versions of Samba covered below.  I installed a few
# experiencing build issues, or needed to upgrade to the latest in the same
# on a few diferent machines, so I'll just leave them here.  The latest
# of 4.19.x, 4.20.x, 4.21.x

# Samba 4.22.0 failed to build for me and I don't particularly need it,
# so I gave up on that for now.  I'll try again when .1 comes out.
# This attempt was on a severely modified Slackware 14.2 (released in
# 2016), so who knows where the problem lies...

# The mount.cifs command that used to be packaged with Samba is cifs-utils
# now.  There is a cifs-utils Slackware package starting with 14.0
# cifs-utils HOWTO

# If you are upgrading a source-installed version of Samba and want to clean
# up old files before installing the new version, back up everything, stop
# Samba (smbd, nmbd), then as root, run 'make uninstall' in the source
# directory.

# If you want to make sure that you have no conflicting old files and
# want to (re-)start with sample config files.  Back up everything first,
# you may loose accounts and such by doing this, move old files in these
# locations elsewhere until everything is cleaned up and working.
# These options can be changed from their defaults in smb.conf, so
# make sure you review these to be sure where they are located:
#
# state directory
# cache directory
# lock directory
# pid directory
#
# Default examples with --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
#
# /etc/samba
# /usr/lib/samba
# /usr/lib64/samba
# /usr/libexec/samba
# /usr/share/samba
# /var/cache/samba
# /var/lib/samba
# /var/log/samba
# /var/run/samba

# In some cases, file formats in /var/lock/samba/, /var/lib/samba/, etc. may
# need to (automatically) be updated when upgrading to a new version of
# Samba.  Always best to back up those files if upgrading, in case it goes
# badly and you need to downgrade temporarily, and always best to shut down
# Samba all the way before starting up the new version.

# If you'd like to set up a fax printer that you can use through Samba,
# check out my HylaFAX HOWTO
# (not updated in a looooong time)

# If you have docbook-xsl 1.78.1 from the Slackware linuxdoc-tools package,
# apply this patch to it or it or Samba may fail to build with an error
# referring to man page smb.conf.5 and
# "A potential infinite template recursion was detected"

# If this was an upgrade and you already have a working smb.conf,
# start it up again

# If you install Samba with a prefix other than /usr, create a
# /etc/profile.d/samba.sh to update PATH and MANPATH to reflect where things
# are - e.g. /usr/local/samba/bin and /usr/local/samba/share/man

# If you have an old smb.conf backed up (~/backup/smb.conf-yyyymmdd),
# perhaps rename the sample Samba-distribution smb.conf to smb.conf.dist,
# then copy your backed up one to /etc/samba/smb.conf

# If you don't have a smb.conf, refer to 'man smb.conf' and the Samba docs:
# https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Main_Page
# https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/
#
# I have a possibly very outdated smb.conf example here:
# https://englanders.us/pub/linux/misc/smb.conf
#
# Here's an example smb.conf from the Samba source
# This will copy it as smb.conf.default and if you do not have a
# smb.conf, it will copy smb.conf.default to smb.conf
cp --preserve=timestamps examples/smb.conf.default \
/etc/samba/smb.conf.default
( cd /etc/samba
  test ! -f smb.conf && cp -a smb.conf.default smb.conf )

# Run 'testparm' to verify that your config file is OK and
# 'testparm -v' to include defaults too

# If you're using LDAP, set the LDAP administrator's password in
# private/secrets.tdb:
# smbpasswd -w secret
#
# and install the samba.schema for OpenLDAP's use.  Set slapd.conf to use it
# and restart slapd.  Check out Samba's docs, there are several man pages
# and various other docs that cover setting up LDAP.  If your OpenLDAP is
# installed with prefix /usr, change that to /etc/openldap
test -d /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema &&
cp ../examples/LDAP/samba.schema /usr/local/etc/openldap/schema/

# If you use prefix /usr/local/samba (we use /usr above), update
# /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig so building software that needs
# to be linked with libraries in /usr/local/samba/lib*/ will work

# To start|stop|restart Samba, either set /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start it or
# create a rc.samba (see above).  rc.M will call it on boot-up if it exists.
# If you just upgraded from a very old version of Samba, confirm the
# location of smbd and nmbd and adjust rc.samba if needed.

# If everything goes to hell, you can revert back to the old version (not
# including databases that were converted and config files that you changed)
# by running 'make revert' from the source directory.  If you want to
# uninstall Samba you can run 'make uninstall'.
# (I have not tested this)

# If you have a CUPS server running on this machine, create/update the "smb"
# symlink so you can print to printers that are attached to a Windows
# machine using the smb backend:
test -d /usr/lib/cups/backend &&
ln -sf /usr/bin/smbspool /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb
test -d /usr/lib64/cups/backend &&
ln -sf /usr/bin/smbspool /usr/lib64/cups/backend/smb

# Make sure your non-root user can remove the source later
chown -R $(logname) .
chmod -R u+w .

# Become yourself again
exit

# If you used the default prefix of /usr/local/samba (we use /usr above),
# add Samba's bin directory to your current (non-root) shell's PATH and it's
# man directory to MANPATH
test -f /etc/profile.d/samba.sh && . /etc/profile.d/samba.sh

# Save the source for later
cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/samba-*.tar.*
mv samba-4.21.4.tar.gz installed/
