Building Samba RPM packages for RHEL/CentOS 5 - Needed corrections to the .spec file
by Miguel Medalha 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

I just built from source the Samba 3.5.6 RPM packages for CentOS 5.x/RHEL5.x. I found some glitches in the included samba.spec file and I thought someone else might benefit from my recent experience. The spec file for RHEL/CentOS resides, on the sources tree, under "samba-3.5.6\packaging\RHEL\". 1 - The process initially fails due to a dependency problem: missing "keyutils-devel". Change the respective entry on line 31 (BuildRequires:) to "keyutils-libs-devel" (yum install this file from the repositories if needed). 2 - Although it is called by the packaging process, the "umount.cifs" file is not compiled and therefore cannot be found in sources3/bin at the moment of packaging. Therefore, the RPM build process fails. Either comment the references to the file from lines 237, 396 and 414, if you don't need this function, or add the following to the ./configure command, starting on line 137: --with-cifsumount The default for this parameter is "no", and therefore it is not included in the "configure" process as is. 3 - The RPM build process finally fails because some files, which were compiled and copied to the temporary tree, are not called by the packaging process. The following lines must be included on the spec file, under "Files section": /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/net.mo %{_includedir}/wbc_async.h %{_mandir}/man5/pam_winbind.conf.5.gz I suggest you include them close to related lines (same paths) for the sake of clarity. After these corrections the build of the RPM packages went on with no errors and was successful. All the packages installed correctly afterward. I hope these tips will be useful to someone. PS - The sources for Samba 3.5.6 are here: http://www.samba.org/ Before building, you might be interested in patching the sources with the patch provided by Volker Lendecke to improve compliance with Windows ACLs. The patch is here, thanks to Volker: http://samba.org/~jra/samba-3-5-x-acl-jumbo-patch.tgz patch -b -p1 < jumbo-patch-3-5-6.diff After applying the patch and modifying the .spec file you can proceed to the building process. cd to "/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/samba-3.5.6/packaging/RHEL" and execute the "makerpms.sh" script there.

Just curious... Well, projects.centos.org was up briefly over the weekend, but appears (from my end) to be down again, same symptoms; HTTP connections just hang. Next time I'll download the LiveCD instructions I'm looking for to a static file! -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner(a)lco.cl) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory

problem sending/recieving mails
by maina＠linuxmail.org 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Hi all, I ave setup a CentOS server to act as LAN gateway and also as a transparent proxy server but all client "passing through" that server are enable to send or recieve mails. The mail server is host on the same LAN running mdaemon, both servers are on private IP block(192.168.0.0/24). Am using cisco router to do port forwading for mailserver(25,110,143) ports. If i eliminate CentOS box and direct traffic direct to cisco router everything works. My question is why is it when i use CentOS box as LAN gateway clients are unable to send/receive mails? I ave done nating on that box. Centos 5.5 full updated.
