Samba4 on Pfsense 2.4

tojaktoty

I am trying to setup a small box with a smb share and can't successfully get it running. I have an x64 amd box with pfsense 2.4 running fine and the following are the commands I am using to install and configure samba. I've tried both recent samba45-4.5.8 and samba46-4.6.2. What am I missing?

Silvio Giunge Silva a.k.a kanazuchi posted a few years ago in the samba mailing list having experienced the same errors on an older version of pfsense but that thread was never updated with any resolution except the author thought maybe the problem was with NIS or missing pkg.

Try samba4 from: https://pkg.mundounix.com.br/pfsense/

I've got it running

There was a website with additional info: https://pf2ad.mundounix.com.br/
But seems offline now :(

Which version pfsense do you have it running on? Do you remember if you had to do anything special? Thanks

samba-tool don't work on pfSense cause the Yellow Pages is disable in the build of his image.
To work properly this must be enable because samba-tool look for the YP simbols and don't find them.

I used to the pf2ad.sh script found on this website: https://pf2ad.mundounix.com.br/en/index.html

Its a customized Samba4.4 package which works under pFsense

Currently I use 2.3.3. But before I tested it on 2.4. Did work as well.

This is a firewall. Do not install packages or run scripts from other sources on it. That is a giant security nightmare. You have no way to verify that those packages are secure or properly built from trustworthy sources.
