Hello everyone. This is partly a RedHat specific question. When I try removing a rpm using 'rpm -e' I get 'rpm not installed', and when I try install the same rpm using 'rpm -i', I get 'rpm already installed'. How can this be? Please advise. Another thing is that I can't find the swat service. I installed smb server at installation, and the rest of the packages seem to be installed. I'm trying to reinstall, but the above problem keeps holds me back. If I could reinstall, is this the right thing to do, or do you have other suggestions? Thanks for your time, Trevor. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
Try doing an 'rpm -qa | grep samba' to find out which Samba packages you have installed. These names are the ones you use when doing a 'rpm -e' so you might have to uninstall several rpms. Read the man page for swat installation - either 'man swat' or follow this link http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/docs/man/swat.8.html <http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/docs/man/swat.8.html> Noel -----Original Message----- From: Trevor Fraser [mailto:trevor@systematic.co.za] Sent: 17 July 2002 12:01 To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Installing/Removing RPM's Hello everyone.

I had trouble getting 2.2.3a to un-install, but since it wasn't running yet I simply re-built the server and had another go at it.... One thing to note, the default firewall settings (if you chose to use them) disallow ports in the 137-139 range. I've disabled the firewall temporarily while I find out how to open those ports....> Another thing is that I can't find the swat service.
