Hello everyone: Being a newbie, I'm extending myh education via trial and error. When I originally installed Red Hat Linux, I believe that Samba version 2.0.3-8 was installed. In fact, when I now query rpm for Samba, the response indicates the above mentioned version. A while back, I downloaded the latest version of Samba (2.2.2) and dutifully tried to install it. I issued the commands as per the docfile, and my PC chugged along for a while and then came the message tha said something to the effect that I needed the latest version of RH Linux in order to run this version of Samba. OOPS! Now the Samba web admin tool thinks that V2.2.2 is installed but RPM thinks that 2.0.3-8 is installed and I cannot get Samba to run. It does not find the config file in the old loc ation and when I copy it to the new location, a bunch of the params are not recognized. I know that upgrading to the latest version of RHL will solve this problem but I'm not ready for that at this moment. So can anyone tell me how to get back to Samba 2.0.3-8 (or point me to the appropriate documentation)? I have files that I need to get at from Windows 2000. Thanks in advance. Feel free to mail me direct. Dan dwhempy@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo! Mail - the world's greatest free email! http://mail.yahoo.com/
No guarantees here, but: When you install from the tarball, everything by default winds up in /usr/local/samba. If you just remove that director (rm -rf /usr/local/samba will likely do it. Be careful.) Then, you may even have your old installation available, if you haven't removed it.
