Topic: SAMBA 3 for SME

[philippe peltier]

Has someone already released a sme-specific rpm of samba 3 ?

[Stéphane Gauvin]

I'm interesting to please someone answer the question ??? Thanks !

[Serge]

I have been able to update to Samba 3.0 on SME 6.0B3.

As some dependencies were not met witht he unmodified SME 6.0B3, I had to install some other RH7.3 RPMs:

cups-libs-1.1.14-15.i386.rpm
libtiff-3.5.7-2.i386.rpm
htmlview-2.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
cups-1.1.14-15.i386.rpm
samba-3.0.0-2_rh73.i386.rpm

All are available from www.rpmfind.com (use versions compiled for RH7.3).

This was done on an up-to-date SME 6.0B3 version.

I hope this helps.

Serge

Hi all,

We have a production server at work 5.6u5 which we have upgraded to samba 3.0 with no problems, the rpms you need can be found at:

http://www.watson-trant.com/downloads/e-smith/samba3/

We have performed such an upgrade twice now, went smoothly both times.

Cheers,

hmm I like the docs better...there are some changes in the smb.conf files...
Did you run testparm on the conf file?

[Andy MacDonald]

Thanks Martin!

[Martin Watson]

Hi all,

Yes, we have run testparm on the server and yes, there are some differences there, however we are using custom templates to suit our own particular circumstances (networked MS/Access databases) and find that the increase in performance over previous Samba versions is quite dramatic. The server in question is now being used in a production environment with 50+ users.

Regards,

Martin.
