[Samba] Samba 3.2 on FreeBSD

I uninstalled my 3.0.30 port and then downloaded the samba-latest.tar.gz
file and installed it so that I was starting out with 3.2.0. After
installing, I cannot find the smb.conf file anywhere other than in the
examples.

Where do I need to place this file? Does it need to go in /usr/local/etc?
I know that on my linux boxes it always placed it in /etc/samba. I would
have thought that it would have placed it where it needed to on FreeBSD
also, but I guess I was wrong.

Thanks.

That depends upon how you installed it. If you did a simple
./configure; make; make install
Samba would expect its configuration file under
/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf

Ok, that is how I installed it, but the other answer from Terry was:

"Yes in /usr/local/etc/smb.conf"

The config file was in neither. Most of the directories were in the
'usr/local/samba' and there was nothing in the '/usr/local/etc' as far as
samba goes.

I would have thought that it would have put a smb.conf in one of the
directories or at least an example in one. I just want to make sure that
I get it in the correct place.

Thanks.

I tried that and it looks like the shared object libtalloc.so.1 is not
found. I searched for it on the server just to make sure it was not in
the wrong place or did not have a link to it, but it is no where to be
found. Guess I'll have to find out where to get it installed from.

Any ideas on that?

I may should have just left 3.0.30,1 on there and gone with that. :)

Whoops my bad. I had a typo. Now I need to know for sure where the
libtallco.so.1 goes.

I just uninstalled it and ran the configure again and I noticed a few
WARNINGS about sys/mount.h and netinet/ip.h present but cannot be
compiled. I am not sure what that is about. I think I'll just go back
and use the 3.0.30 port and install it. Hopefully there is not too much
that I will be missing and maybe I can just upgrade to 3.2 later on.

Thanks.
