samba - Apr 2001 - Installing Samba 2.2.0 rpm for RH 6.2

hi Team!

Intermittently, smb/nmb stop functioning to the point my Windows users
can't map their drives because the sharename is not found. Perhaps it's
related to these getpeername failed messages, not sure:

[2001/04/30 00:25:00, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(216)
  file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 1014 are
available.
[2001/04/30 00:37:57, 0] lib/util_sock.c:client_addr(1045)
  getpeername failed. Error was Bad file descriptor


Hoping to resolve the problem with the new version, but having troubles
installing it. Previously, the 2.0.7 rpm for redhat 6.2 was in 3 parts:
samba, samba-client, and samba-common. The latest version has only the
samba rpm. When i try to upgrade (or install or -Fvh) the latest rpm i
encounter conflicts with the 2.0.7 client and 2.0.7-common (see below).
Should i be following some special install procedure?


thanks much,
elena

Backup your /etc/smb.conf

Remove the 3 redhat samba 2.0 packages
(rpm -e samba samba-client samba-common)

Install the one sambe.org 2.2 package

Migrate your smb.conf configuration if the installation of 2.2 did not
do this for you.
You should be able to just copy the backuped smb.conf over the new
smb.conf in this case, as the conf file is the same format for 2.0 and
2.2, but you might want to take a look at the new 2.2 conf file incase
there are any new settings relevant to your installation.
