Samba for VAS -2.6 RPM sources

Vintela-samba was an experimental packaging of Samba modified to integrate with Vintela Authentication Services (VAS). Samba is a CIFS server and client implementation of Microsoft Windows networked filesystems. This package provides single-sign-on authenticated CIFS service for Unix clients and servers in an Active Directory environment.

Status

At the moment, only a source package is being provided. You can build an RPM on your favourite Linux platform, using the command:

# rpmbuild --rebuild filename.src.rpm

and then install the resulting rpm file that is built. You will need to have system developer tools installed, vas-devel and OpenLDAP development libraries. (Add --nodeps to the rpmbuild command line if you are sure you have these installed, and it otherwise complains.)

The following platforms have been tested: Red Hat 7.3, SuSE 9.3, Fedora Core 2

The source RPM patches Samba with the following changes:

The installation prefix is /opt/vintela/rc
VAS is used as a Kerberos implementation
- No need to use samba's net join
- No need to create a cifs/ service or keytab
The default domain (realm) name is detected
The default smb.conf uses security = ADS
