I have done part of this. I installed Samba 2.0.6 on a new Slackware 7 installation. Slackware places its files different than Samba 2.0.6 default. Since I prefer default settins as much as possible, I stuck with that. You need to change /etc/rc.d/rc.samba to point to /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd & nmbd. In addition, your config file will need to move from /etc to /usr/local/samba/lib. For the man pages I inserted /usr/local/samba/man as the the first path in /etc/profile. This lets man find the 2.0.6 man pages first. I really don't like this solution but didn't want to take the time to find the Slackware location for the Samba man pages. I have no exerience with Samba 2.0.5a, but 2.0.6 is now supporting two virtual servers and 60 users with 4 differenf sets of permissions. Hope this helps ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You know you;ve landed gear-up if it takes full power to taxi!
