I get IT NEEDS SMBCLIENT PACKET TO WORK
this is centos 7
I do have the smb client installed from yum
I have libsmbclient-devel installed
i try and install this
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Filesys::SmbClient'
and it asks for
Where can I find libsmbclient.h
How do I get past this ?

[vtrac]

Hi btayl,
I extracted the "libsmbclient-devel-4.2.1-6.gf.el7.x86_64.rpm" package and do see "libsmbclient.h" and "libsmbclient.so" included in the package:

Code: Select all

/usr/include/samba-4.0/libsmbclient.h
/usr/lib64/libsmbclient.so
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/smbclient.pc
/usr/share/man/man7/libsmbclient.7.gz

First, please check if "libsmbclient.h" and "libsmbclient.so" are there then re-install your "Filesys::SmbClient" again.

When asked, please enter the correct path "/usr/include/samba-4.0" for "libsmbclient.h".

Vinh

Now I get
Where can I find libsmbclient.so ? [] /usr/lib64

I also checked I am running Version samba 4.10.16 if that makes a differance

[vtrac]

Hi,
I tested this on my "CentOS 7" with Samba v4.10.16 and looks like it is not supported.

Here's the output of the install:

You use SMBCTXX->close (release < 3.0.20).

As you can see from the (above) install output:

Code: Select all

You don't define SMBCTXX->flags. Samba older than 3.0.11. Filesys::SmbClient::set_flag will not work
You use SMBCTXX->close (release < 3.0.20).

Here's the error:

Code: Select all

SmbClient.xs: In function ‘XS_Filesys__SmbClient__close’:
SmbClient.xs:460:17: error: ‘SMBCCTX’ has no member named ‘close’
   RETVAL=context->close(context, fd);

I'm unable to find information on whether the perl 'install Filesys::SmbClient' supports version 4.x version of the samba client. The install script seems to be expecting version 3.x. based on the warnings and error messages.

Can you suggest a different plugin ?

[vtrac]

Hi btayl,
Please check our Nagios Exchange as there might be other samba plugins out there:
