Howdy: I have a samba install (2.0.3) that I never got to work. I now have /home/gelmce/samba-2.o.7.tar.gz. In what directory should I be when I tar -xzvf /home/gelmce/samba-2.0.7.tar.gz ? Chuck

It is relevant to me because I'll need to remember where it went! :-| Since the linux kernel goes into "/usr/src/linux" (->/usr/src/liunux-2.2.16), I suspect that an acceptable place to un'tar it would be from "/usr/src". Does this seem appropriate to y'all? Regards, Chuck

On some operating systems (I think Solaris, in particular, but maybe others as well) it is necessary to compile on a non-NFS filesystem, due to automated locking checks during configuration that will fail otherwise.

Hi, John: I wish that there was a 'samba-newbie' list. ;-) Oh, :-O are there different kernels|OSs that use samba-2.0.7.tar.gz ? Thanks, Chuck "Nelson, John P." wrote:> > Eminently Reasonable.
