I upgraded my samba package on my RedHat 6.1 installation via RPM. I used the samba-2.0.7-20000425.i386.rpm file. I had to first uninstall the packages: samba-common-2.0.5a-12 samba-client-2.0.5a-12 because of package dependencies. I'm guessing, then, that the samba-2.0.7-20000425 package includes the files that had been included separately with the common and client packages. Is this correct? Everything seems to be working as properly as before. Also, now when "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start" is invoked, only: [ O K ] smb services [ O K ] appears where before: SMB services [ O K ] NMB services [ O K ] both appeared. What are the NMB services, and does the new smb services include them? I updated the package because I am having trouble with multi-user Quickbooks 99 using a samba share to store the data files. I get permission errors regardless of the permission settings. I haven't tested it yet to see if the error continues with the new package, but does anybody know of this from experience? Thanks.

I just installed 2.0.7 a week or 2 ago and have not had the time to test Quickbooks. If you get to it b4 I do please let me know what you find. If we are trying to do the impossible would someone please tell us? TIA, ......Tom "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, tdiehl@pil.net for you are crunchy and good with ketchup."

Actually, I have e-mailed two others who had similar troubles. One of them fixed the problem by modifying permissions, and the other fixed it by upgrading the package. I've done both of these still with no success. (I just upgraded to 2.0.7, and I'm still getting the same errors.) Actually, I haven't tried this directly, it's one of my clients, and they may be doing something different than I would... but it's working on their Windows shares...>If we are trying to do the impossible would someone please tell us? >The nice thing about open-source is that "impossible" doesn't exist. The bottom line on implementation problems is, "How much time do you want to spend?" or "Do you want to code this?"
