Topic: Samba upgrade

[Eric]

Hi!
I folled the instructions on http://myezserver.com/docs/mitel/samba-upgrade-howto.html exept that when i do rpm -Uvh samba-common-2.2.2-8.i386.rpm i get the following errors:

        samba-common = 2.0.10 is needed by samba-2.0.10-2
        samba-common = 2.0.10 is needed by samba-client-2.0.10-2

Help?!?

Hi,
you should deinstall your old samba first.

And you should use "real" Samba 2.2.2 as available from www.samba.org for red-hat. Sounds like you had old Samba packages flying around.

Easiest way to get a real good samba system is to do an upgrade-install of Version 5.1beta; it includes Samba 2.2.2 and every option (PDC, Quotas) is available in the easy e-smith way.

Worked very good at my home-server...

These howtos were sort of workarounds for the older e-smith versions.

Hi,

what shows SMBD Status? NMBD Status?

Nothing?

Then you did not use the "real" samba.rpm for RedHat 7.0; deinstall again and use the *.rpm from www.samba.org.

Do not forget to restart server (or restart samba).

Samba startup should show in the boot messages.
