If you built and installed it on the system the files are all likely to be located in /usr/local/samba. In that case just delete this directory. If this is a vendor supplied Samba build, please refer to the vendor's manuals for details of how to remove Samba. IF an RPM enabled Linux: Use RPM to delete the installed Samba packages. To find the installed Samba packages execute: rpm -qa | grep samba then remove each by executing: rpm -e 'packagename' Is that enough information yet? - John T.
> How do you uninstall Samba 3.0.14a?That depends, how did you INSTALL Samba 3.0.14a? Yes, there's a hint of sarcasm there, but if you don't know how it got in, there's going to be a tough road getting it out. More information might help us help you though. What is your OS? Do you stick to your package manager? Do you like to compile from source? Do you run a system like Gentoo where the package manager does compile from source? It may be as simple as running rpm -e samba or it might be much more difficult. Lets get the OS and we'll start there.
Please keep on list as this is probably useful to others... reply to all is your friend.> -----Original Message----- > From: WINTERBERGER, JOHN A - SSD [mailto:JOHN.WINTERBERGER@itt.com] > Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 4:07 PM > To: Paul Gienger > Subject: RE: [Samba] Uninstall Samba 3.0.14a > > > I installed it on Redhat 7.2 > I downloaded samba 3.0.14a (gzipped) > Unzipped it > ./configure > Make > Make install > It was then that the engineer on our project said that he wants > samba-2.2.1a-4.i386 installed instead.

You'd have to look at where the default config location is, maybe /usr/local/samba. Just delete the directory. As you said you tried rpm -e (in the other message), it is helpful to note that this won't work for 2 reasons: 1. Redhat packages samba as 4 packages, so you would have needed to get all the package names, and I think in 7.2, the version numbers also. In recent versions just the name will do. SuSE I believe has just samba as the only package. 2. When you install by source your package manager (rpm in this case) doesn't have a clue. That's why I continuously recommend that people with package managers stick to them. If you want to build something, figure out how to build rpm files (www.rpm.org) so that other rpm packages are aware that the libraries are there when they go looking.
