This has already been posted on the Gentoo Bugzilla, but they closed it off as invalid. Anywho, in at least versions 3.0.7 and 3.0.9 of Samba, rpctorture fails to build under Gentoo (and possibly other systems). I'll include the relevant part of the Gentoo build log as an attachment shortly. Relevant extracts from Gentoo's "emerge info" output: Gentoo Base System version 1.6.7 Portage 2.0.51-r8 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.9-gentoo-r10 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r10 i686 Mobile Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 1.50GHz Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4 [2.3.4 (#1, Dec 8 2004, 20:11:33)] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r2, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.7.9, 1.9.3 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r1, 2.15.92.0.2-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r1 CFLAGS="-march=pentium4m -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

rpctorture is not supported in any way. If you need similar functionality look at samba4 smbtorture. Volker
