Samba 2.2.8 for OpenVMS
If you want to be up-to-date about Samba/VMS, you can subscribe to the
samba-vms mailing list at http://lists.samba.org/listinfo/samba-vms
Note :
- The kits can be downloaded from the list at the bottom of this
page.
- The kits are named SAMBA-2_2_8-/specific/-/buildnumber/.zip
- The /specific/ part means :
o OBJ : Objects files for all Alpha/VMS versions.
o VMS73-OBJ : Objects files for Alpha/VMS version 7.3-1 and
above. Supports big files.
o OBJ-VAX : Objects files for all VAX/VMS versions.
o SRC : Sources and procedures, all Alpha/VMS and VAX/VMS versions.
o VMS73-SRC : Sources and procedures, Alpha/VMS version 7.3-1 and
above
- The /buildnumber/ part will be formed with the release date
(i.e. 20040908 for the 08-SEP-2004). There will never exist more than
one kit per day
Depending upon your version of VMS and/or of the patch level of your
DECC run-time library, you may need *snprintf.zip *if you encounter
DECC$GXSNPRINTF and DECC$GXVSNPRINTF undefined symbols at link time. The
zip file will give you a SNPRINTF.OBJ file that you?ll have to insert in
the SAMBA.OLB library before linking.
Modification history
08-Sep-2004
- Beginning with this release, there is a new policy of naming
the kit files. See above for details.
- A new ?VMS Record Format? share parameter has been added. It
defines the RMS record type of the files created by Samba, i.e. the way
VMS will see those files. The default is ?stream?, but it can be forced
to ?stream_lf?. Support of this parameter has been added in SWAT, at the
end of the Miscellaneous Options (Advanced View).
- A procedure MAKE_SAMBA_GUEST_ACCOUNT.COM has been added in the
[BIN] area. It creates a Samba ?Guest? account named SAMBA__GUEST (taken
from Samba/VMS 2.0.6, thanks to John E. Malmberg)
- A procedure SAMBA_COMMANDS.COM has been added in the [BIN]
area. It creates DCL symbols for a easier way of using the Samba
utilities. (thanks to John E. Malmberg too)
- The template SMB.CONF has been reviewed to be compatible with
version 2.2.8. It gives an example of a VMS server within a Windows Domain.
- The default debug level of some utilities
(SMBCLIENT,NMBLOOKUP) has been reset to 0
- An erroneous message in the sub-feature of sending messages
with SMBCLIENT has been corrected.
- The code has been checked in order to remove the
/STANDARD=VAXC compiler option, and to remove irrelevant warnings and
informations.
9-Aug-2004, Another Variable-length/VFC fix
Fixed problem when accessing VFC or Variable-length files with some
specific products (Word, Visual SlickEdit, ?)
26-Jul-2004, VFC files Fix
Fixed problems when accessing VFC or Variable-length files containing a
mix of text and binary records.
Fixed NMBD memory consumption
21-Jun-2004, Unrelsolved symbols at Link Time
When linking Samba on old VMS versions, you may encounter the following
errors :
%LINK-W-NUDFSYMS, 2 undefined symbols:
%LINK-I-UDFSYM, DECC$GXSNPRINTF
%LINK-I-UDFSYM, DECC$GXVSNPRINTF
To resolve this issue, first try to download and install the latest DECC
RTL patches from HP.
If it does not work, download from here the file *snprintf.zip*. This
file contains a zipped .OBJ file that you can add to the SAMBA.OLB
object library before linking.
10-May-2004, smbpasswd fixes
Adding and deleting users in the smbpasswd file did not work
correctly (smbpasswd -a and ?x features).
16-Apr-2004, Support of Big Files
If you use VMS 7.3-1 or later (Alpha only) , with DECC RTL support
of big files (?big? meaning larger than 2 GigaBytes), you can now
use the samba-2_2_8-vms73-src and samba-2_2_8-vms73-obj kits.
Please note that _it works only on Alpha, with VMS 7.3-1 or
later_. Except the ?big? files support, this kit has no other
feature than the standard one.
29-Sep-2003, New Version
· Changes in the previous version introduced a bug in the
file name encoding, and it was impossible to create files with
blanks in the name, to save from Word or Excel, etc?
· SMB.CONF Parameters now defaults to ?oplocks=no? and
?level2 oplocks=no?
· Fix in smbpasswd (it was impossible to delete a user)
· Enhancements in the ?readline? routine used by the Samba
client programs(thanks to Dave Jones)
07-Aug-2003, New Version
Some small fixes and enhancements :
- Fix of NMBD not starting (unable to write NMBD.PID file)
- Fix of access to Fortran-Carriage-Control Variable-Record
files from Notepad, Wordpad and so on
- Fix for access of variable-record files from third party
software (PowerGrep, Slick Edit, ?)
- Fix for privileges (CMKRNL) needed without reason in smbpasswd
and other utilities
- The Link procedure now supports both VAX and ALPHA hardware
28-Apr-2003, New Version
The biggest change is that this version does not use the
F11$POSIX_FASTRDSEQNOS undocumented routine anymore. It uses exactly the
same method, but all has been re-written in C, so VAX and ALPHA versions
are now the same. Because the method itself takes advantage of some
locks used by the XQP subsystem, this new code has been separated in a
new C source file named VMS_TRICKS.C, which includes comments explaining
how it works. A full ?documentation? of the XQP internal behaviour and
lock manager usage can be found in a book named ?VMS File System
Internals? (Digital Press 1990). It seems that an updated version of
this book will be published at the end of 2003.
In addition, all the problems that were submitted to me via the
samba-vms mailing list since the last version have been fixed:
- Error messages from GETDVI when running in VMS 7.3 or 7.3-1
- Correct read of Variable-Record files from Linux client
- Smbcontrol sending commands to nmbd process
- Smbstatus display of client?s IP address
- Fix concerning ?valid list?, ?write list? and VMS groups
- SMBD loops when high debug level selected
Some enhancements have been given to INSTALL.COM and to other procedures
by Alan B. Hunt. Thanks a lot.
27-Mar-2003, New 2.2.8 Version
Integration of changes from the Unix Version to be up-to-date to 2.2.8
Specific VMS fixes :
- File date/time display (there was an GMT/localtime difference)
- Fix of SMBD crash when sharing a disk at master directory
(000000) level
- Fix of unexpected changes of files from VARIABLE to STREAM
structure, and of unexpected changes in the modification date.
- Automatic creation of TDB indexed files when needed (thanks to
Dave Jones). INIT_TDB.COM procedure is no more needed.
In addition, note that the VAX version needs VAXY2K01_071 and
VAXACRT10_071 patches to run correctly in version VAX/VMS 7.1
10-Mar-2003, New Version
Performance enhancements : the TDB processing routines has been
rewritten for VMS, and now use Indexed RMS Files. A new procedure
(INIT_TDB.COM) is provided in SAMBA_ROOT:[BIN] for creating a new TDB
file. *If you used the DOMAIN security mode with a previous release,
you?ll have to join the Windows domain again after installing this
version* (smbpasswd ?j ?)
Enhancements in processing of memory cache validity
Some problems/bugs fixed (incorrect checking of passwords, ?)
23-Jan-2003, New Version
Support for ODS-5 volumes, starting with VMS version 7.2-1. You'll need
the last ACRTL patch to make it work properly. Check at
http://ftp.support.compaq.com/patches/.new/openvms.shtml for your
current system.
Some (minor) problems fixed.
2-Jan-2003, First 2.2.7a Version
Upgrade from 2.2.4 to 2.2.7a from the original SAMBA/Unix source, with
integration of VMS specifics. Documentation on this page has been
updated accordingly.
More performances enhancements and some bug fixes.
17-Dec-2002, new version, last 2.2.4 version
Performances enhancements by caching file information.
3-Oct-2002, new version
Bug fixes.
Added identifier SAMBA_ROOT. Makes users holding it considered as "root"
by Samba. Installation procedure grants it to SYSTEM user.
This file updated (installation procedure)
26-Sep-2002, new version
Bugfix version.
19-Sep-2002, new version
Add a forgotten fix into CGI.C.
18-Sep-2002, new version
Various corrections.
12-Sep-2002, new version

VAX objects kit.
10-Sep-2002, new version
3-Sep-2002, new kit and installation procedure
Prerequisites
* Open VMS version 7.1 or later
* Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS version 5.0 ECO 1 or later
* to compile from sources, DECC Compiler version 6.5 or later
Installation
* Download the kit containing the source part (-SRC)
* Unzip the zip file which extract a .BCK file of the same name.
example : *unzip "-V" samba-2_2_8-src-001.zip *
* explode that BCK file
*backup samba-2_2_8-src-001.bck/sav/sel=[samba-2_2_8-src...]
dev:[dir...]*
where dev:[dir] is the directory where you want to put the kit.
* If you don't have a C compiler
o Donwnload also the needed (Alpha or VAX) object kit (-OBJ).
o unzip that file will give a .BCK file of the same name
example : *unzip "-V" samba-2_2_8-obj.zip *
o explode that BCK file
*backup samba-2_2_8-obj.bck/sav/sel=[samba-2_2_8-src...]
dev:[dir...]*
where dev:[dir] is the directory where you have extract the
kit.
* go to directory dev:[dir.source.vms]
*set default dev:[dir.source.vms]*
where dev:[dir] is the directory where you have extract the kit.
* If you want to rebuild from source:
*@build*
* Note that, depending upon your version of the DECC compiler,
recompiling Samba may give you lots of compile and link messages
or even fail.
* If you just want to relink and have restore the objects files:
*@link*
* Then, you can execute the installation procedure, located in the
same subdirectory (dev:[dir.source.vms]):
*@install*
* Before running this installation procedure, *please stop all SAMBA
processes that could be currently running on your system. **Those
processes are named NMBD, SMBD* and SWAT**
* This procedure generates a SAMBA_STARTUP.COM procedure in
SYS$STARTUP: SAMBA_STARTUP.C OM must be executed during the boot
procedure.
It also creates a new SAMBA_ROOT identifier and grants it to the
SYSTEM user.
* Optionally, you can delete the directory containing the kit.
