FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p35, package samba44 -- where is SWAT or samba-tool?

[David Christensen]

freebsd-questions:

I have a FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p35 machine and would like to run a Samba
server. I have installed the 'samba44' package.


My preferred Samba administration tool is SWAT. It appears that samba44
does not include SWAT.


The FreeBSD handbook section 28.10 appears to be written for samba43.
The handbook recommends 'samba-tool':


https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-samba.html

It appears samba44 does not include samba-tool.


Any suggestions?

Right.

It's in the plist, and it doesn't seem to be controlled by any options.

Does "pkg info -l samba44|grep samba-tool" not show it?

Thanks for the reply. Running your command:

2016-06-09 11:21:05 ***@p42800e ~
# pkg info -l samba44|grep samba-tool
pkg: No package(s) matching samba44


Checking if Samba is installed:

2016-06-09 11:21:13 ***@p42800e ~
# pkg info | grep samba


I thought I installed samba44 yesterday:

2016-06-08 16:36:43 ***@p42800e ~
# pkg install samba44

That looks more like it. Now I have samba-tool:

Thanks for the help. :-)
