I'm running Red Hat version 7.2 as server. It has been fully upgraded from Red Hat UP2DATE. Samba 2.2.3a is currently running on the server with a working smb.conf file. I've noted a lot of comments/suggestions to upgrade to Samba 2.2.7. I find 2 files on the samba.org site for Red Hat 7.x: samba2.2.7-1.i386.rpm and samba2.2.7.src.rpm When trying to install with the Package Manager I get: samba2.2.7-1.i386.rpm "needs libcups.so.2" Apparently Samba 2.2.7 requires CUPS installed? Now in the process of downloading. samba2.2.7.src.rpm "error" dialog box listing the rpm name. Something else I need to be dong? Perhaps I got a corrupt file? Since RPMs are available relly hate to have to build form the binaries...... Tom Winfield

[Samba] unable to connect to a share, error message: "string overflow"
Hello list, after upgrading from samba 2.2.5 to 2.2.6 or 2.2.7 I get a whole bunch (in fact thousands of them) of the following error messages in my smb.log ERROR: string overflow by 10 in string_sub(%u, 7) [2002/11/23 18:46:51, 0] lib/util_str.c:string_sub(1188) ERROR: string overflow by 10 in string_sub(%u, 7) ERROR: string overflow by 10 in string_sub(%u, 7) [2002/11/23 18:46:51, 0] lib/util_str.c:string_sub(1188) [2002/11/23 18:46:51, 0] lib/util_str.c:string_sub(1188) . . . when trying to connect to a share. Of course the connect fails. What is happening here? It certainly looks like a string (the username perhaps?) is too long but it worked perfectly before. What can I do about that? Thanks Peter
Tom, When upgrading Samba via RPMs you will need at least 3 files... The straight Samba RPM The Samba-common RPM And the Samba-client RPM One of those may have the missing file that you require... I also HIGHLY recommend that you back-up your working smb.conf file... The new version that you install might overwrite that file and may even have some configuration differences that you will need to work out. Good luck.

Hi: I am the system admin at my company. We are running Samba 2.2.2 and I have been made aware of security issue for 2.2.2 - 2.2.6. I went to your web site, found this page: http://au1.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-2.2.7.html but does not speak on upgrading from an earlier version. Found this page "Unofficial How To" , the first part of which seems to describe upgrading: http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html Can you direct me to a location that has instructions specifically on upgrading to 2.2.7. Also do I need to stop Samba first, install patch and then restart? Thanks, Carl Ambroise MxEnergy 203-356-1318
