I recently downloaded the samba 2.2.5 update. I ran GZIP and tar. next i did the configuration according to Using Samba by Robert Eckstein, David Collier-Brown, Peter Kelly 1st edition Nov. 1999. Steps were as follows: ./configure make make install added swat to /etc/services swat 901/tcp after all of this it does not appear that samba was actually updated. I looked in samba.org for an update procedure and was not able to locate one. It appears as though the update procedure I used is for a different derivation of unix and not Red Hat 7.3 Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Steve
The default prefix is /usr/local/samba. I'm guessing your old binaries are still located in /usr/bin. You can either change your startup script for smb to point to the new binaries or re-run your config and specify the correct prefix.

I'm a little confused. It appears that the original files are in /etc/samba/ , at least the smb.conf, and the new ones are in usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf and nothing pertaining to /usr/bin. I would like to keep the original configuration of Red Hat 7.3 just for consistency of Red Hat. What type of config command do I execute to make it work or how do I change the startup script to use the update installation.

Install the samba sources, look at the .spec file and use the ./configure command they used. That should get you real close.
