CentOS - May 2019 - Older versions of samba that work with CentOS 7?

Hi.

Are there any places I can download older versions of Samba working with CentOS
7?

Reason:

I have been upgrading all of my servers from 6.X to 7.X.
This alone is a massive task for me as I am a one man band.

Samba made massive changes not allowing NT style domains anymore in the 4.10
branch.

If I can find older samba RPM's for CentOS 7 than I can finish all upgrades
of the OS, then later upgrade samba once I am finished when I have more time.


Any ideas anyone?

thanks
Jobst

Hi Jobst,

you can use latest samba package from CentOS 7 - there is no problem 
with NT style domains support (ie. it supports NT style domains). We use 
servers with CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 both with NT style domains.

Phew!
Thank you, this is great news!


I had huge trouble to get the samba server started after I ported it onto a
CentOS 7 machine.
I tried to start it with

    systemctl start smbd nmbd winbind samba

and it failed without error messages.


So I has asked a question on the Samba mailing list.
They told me I should do this as 

    systemctl stop smbd nmbd winbind samba
    systemctl disable smbd nmbd winbind samba
    systemctl mask smbd nmbd winbind samba
    systemctl unmask samba-ad-dc
    systemctl enable samba-ad-dc
    systemctl start samba-ad-dc

Can you confirm, you start this with 

    systemctl start samba-ad-dc



thanks
