samba3 @3.6.6 fails to start

[flexcode@…]

I'm running OSX 10.7.4 and have done a clean install of samba3. It was previously working but sometime during the last month I noticed I could no longer connect. Wondering if it is related to an OSX update.

Here is my current output, I've tried my old smb.conf, a new modified sample conf, and just the out of box conf.sample, all having the same error.

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run

When I run the normal daemon way via

sudo /opt/local/sbin/smbd -D && sudo /opt/local/sbin/nmbd -D

smbd doesnt show up in my Activity Monitor but nmbd is running. I get similar error in my log

I recently tried 3.6.7 and still have the same issue

[ice.rikh@…]

The problem is discussed [here ​https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8773]. The patch at the bottom submitted by Adam Yearout fixes the problem; I am attaching that same patch.

To use it, save the patch as /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/net/samba3/files/patch-source_lib_system_smbd_c.diff and add patchfiles-append patch-source_lib_system_smbd_c.diff to the globals section at the top of /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/net/samba3/Portfile.

Then do sudo port uninstall samba3 followed by sudo port -s -v install samba3.
