Install Samba by running the following commands: cd source && install -d /var/cache/samba && ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-piddir=/var/run \ --with-fhs \ --with-smbmount && make && make install && install -m755 nsswitch/libnss_win{s,bind}.so /lib && ln -sf libnss_winbind.so /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2 && ln -sf libnss_wins.so /lib/libnss_wins.so.2 && cp ../examples/smb.conf.default /etc/samba You may want to run configure with the --help parameter. There may be other parameters needed to take advantage of the optional dependencies.
