SMB problems... Fwd: SMB fileserver

Wed May 18 16:32:47 MDT 2005

Hi
I followed these intructions to fix samba on YDL4. I did this on two  
machines. On the first one everything worked fine and samba is  
working as it should. On the second one I got the following errors  
when building the rpm

libads/kerberos.c: In function `kerberos_kinit_password':
libads/kerberos.c:93: warning: passing arg 4 of  
`krb5_get_init_creds_password' discards qualifiers from pointer  
target type
Compiling libads/ads_status.c with -fPIC
Linking nsswitch/libnss_wins.so
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [nsswitch/libnss_wins.so] Error 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.65781 (%build)

RPM build errors:
     Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.65781 (%build)

Any idea about what went wrong?
Thanks
EJ
