Hi there,
I just tried to install samba with
# make PREFIX=/usr/local/samba install
and it failed with
Installing SWAT in /usr/local/samba/share/swat
Installing the Samba Web Administration Tool
mkdir: /usr/local/samba/share: No such file or directory
Failed to make directory /usr/local/samba/share/swat, does root
have privileges?
I then went, and (per suggestion) tried
# make clean
# make PREFIX=/tmp/samba install
and it completed successfully. Seems like the ports framework
is subject to some restrictions even when used by root. What are
these restrictions, and how are they achieved? I grepped around
the handbook, and the porter's handbook, but didn't spot anything
related.
TIA

were world readable and writable, so they chmoded 600 their files.
