SME8b6 samba version - May 2011
« on: May 13, 2011, 04:14:05 AM »
Hi all.

I was wondering if someone could tell me which version of samba should be installed on a fully updated SME8b6.

This is what I get when I check.
# rpm -qa | grep samba
samba3x-3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1
e-smith-samba-2.2.0-18.el5.sme
samba3x-common-3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1
samba3x-winbind-3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1
samba3x-client-3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1

The above doesn't match the wiki page for SME 8.

AFAICT, yes.

Which wiki page?

Thanks for responding.

wiki page - http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8#Upgrading_samba

I thought the version was correct but just wanted to check. Wasn't sure if the repos were set correctly.

If the following is indeed correct

samba3x-3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1
e-smith-samba-2.2.0-18.el5.sme
samba3x-common-3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1
samba3x-winbind-3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1
samba3x-client-3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1

would it be possible to update the wiki as the OP suggested? It was a little confusing when I read the wiki and I discovered I had the following installed (after a recent upgrade from 7.5.1 to 8.0b6)

[root@SMEbox ~]# rpm -q samba samba3x
package samba is not installed
samba3x-3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1

I was not sure whether I should have uninstalled it and installed samba3x-3.3 to enable Windows 7 domain logins!

The rpm versions do not match as the wiki article is specifically referring to upgrades from sme8beta5 to sme8beta6, at the time beta 6 was first released (which was August 2010).
It does say that in the article !

Subsequent yum updates have upgraded samba versions to more recent ones, as released upstream by CentOS.
