How to install samba-4.1.16 on aix-6.1
Joost van Baal-Ilić, credativ BV, february 2015
Based upon instructions by Noël Köthe, credativ GmbH, sept 2014.
We describe how to build, configure, pack/unpack and install Samba --the Open Source SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix-- version 4.1.16 on a PowerPC running IBM's AIX 6.1.
Building and installing
- Install the IBM compiler xlc version 13.1.0. (Compiling with gcc won't work, see https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10828 .)
- Install python + dependencies; since Samba uses python for its build system. Likely these RPMs suffice:
bash-4.2-12.aix5.1.ppc.rpm bzip2-1.0.6-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm db4-4.7.25-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm expat-2.1.0-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm fontconfig-2.10.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm freetype2-2.5.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm gdbm-1.11-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm gettext-0.17-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm glib2-2.38.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm gmp-5.1.3-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm info-5.2-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm libXft-2.3.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm libXrender-0.9.8-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm libgcc-4.8.2-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm libiconv-1.14-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm libpng-1.6.9-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm libstdc++-4.8.2-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm libstdc++-devel-4.8.2-1.aix7.1.ppc.rpm pkg-config-0.28-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm python-2.7.5-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm python-devel-2.7.5-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm python-libs-2.7.5-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm readline-6.2-5.aix5.1.ppc.rpm renderproto-0.11.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm sqlite-3.8.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm tcl-8.5.15-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm tk-8.5.15-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm zlib-1.2.8-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
Install them by running:
# rpm -ivh * --nodeps
- In a directory with enough space (ideally _not_ under the install root /appl/samba), unpack the samba sources
# gunzip samba-4.1.16.tar.gz && tar -xf samba-4.1.16.tar && cd samba-4.1.16
- Build and install
# export PATH=$PATH:/opt/IBM/xlC/13.1.0/bin/
# ./configure --prefix=/appl/samba --check-c-compiler=xlc [...] 'configure' finished successfully
# make [...] Compiling ... Linking ... 'build' finished successfully
# make install [...] 'install finished successfully'
- Fix missing symlinks to .so-files [1]:
# cd /appl/samba/lib/private/ # ls | grep "so\.[0-9]$" | while read f; do ln -s $f ${f%.?}; done # ls | grep "so\.[0-9][0-9]$" | while read f; do ln -s $f ${f%.??}; done
See also http://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10840 NB: this is NOT the same as Noël's script!
- Add a configuration file:
# vi /appl/samba/etc/smb.conf
This one works for tests:
[global] workgroup = SIM netbios name = SERVERNAME server string = Fileserver security = user ;interfaces = en 192.168.1.2/24 ;bind interfaces ony = yes log level = 2 log file = /appl/samba/logs/log.%m syslog = 0 [SHARE] comment = production share path = /LOCAL/EXISTING/PATH/OF/A/SHARE read only = no ;create mask = 0775 directory mask = 775 ;valid user = ;force user = ;force group =
See also samba-4.1.16/examples/smb.conf.default .
Testing
In order to run the samba binaries, set this:
# export LIBPATH=/appl/samba/lib:/appl/samba/lib/private
Start the Samba daemon:
# /appl/samba/sbin/smbd -D
Test samba:
# /appl/samba/bin/smbclient -L localhost
Add a samba user, and give this user a samba password, for more testing:
# /appl/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a <localunixusername> [...] "Added user [...]
Test a user login:
# /appl/samba/bin/smbclient -U <username> //localhost/INTERFACES smb: \> ls [...] smb: \> cd .snapshot smb: \.snapshot\> ls [...]
Show the connected clients
# smbstatus
Installing on another AIX 6 system
Create a tar archive of /appl/samba to copy /appl/samba to the other machine. (NB: tar as shipped with AIX does not support the z-flag. Manually g(un)zip the .tar if needed.) After unpacking this file there, and creating /appl/samba/etc/smb.conf, one can start smbd:
# export LIBPATH=/appl/samba/lib:/appl/samba/lib/private # /appl/samba/sbin/smbd -D
No need to run ./configure or make, no need to install xlc. You _do_ need Python to run Samba.
[1] When these symlinks are not created, trying to run smbclient will give
an error 'Cannot load module libtevent.so.'
