Hi Samba-Folks, there are Samba 3.0.8 RPMs available now on the SerNet ftp-server: ftp://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/ Currently we have built 3.0.8 for SuSE 8.2 SuSE 9.0 SuSE 9.1 SuSE 9.2 (i386 and x86_64) SLES 8 (i386) SLES 9 (i386 and x86_64) RHEL3 (i386) s390 and s390x versions for SLES will follow later. be aware that our RHEL3 RPMs have a different package style than the RPMs which Red Hat ships; our RPMs follow our SerNet style (formally known as SuSE package style). We also statically link against a modified version of Heimdal Kerberos to get proper ADS support with Windows 2003 - we do not use MIT Kerberos like Red Hat does.

Hi Guenther, as Suse released just their own packs can you describe whats the difference between their packs and sernets?

Quickly our customers demanded support-services for our packages, so that we now have long-term maintained and fully supported Samba3-RPMs for a variety of platforms. Basically the main difference (and this what we call SerNet-style) is that we ship binaries that are statically linked against the most recent and stable Heimdal Kerberos Library. This gains us independence from vendor-supplied Kerberos-libraries and enables us to provide a working Active Directory-Integration. To give an example: we do not suffer from a nasty bug that is present in heimdal-0.6.1rc3 and that causes pretty much all samba binaries that deal with memory-credential-caches to segfault. Additionally we ship some heimdal-enhancements that ease integration (e.g. transparent fallback from udp to tcp when acquiring kerberos tickets if required by a Windows KDC without the need to flag each kdc with a tcp-transport in /etc/krb5.conf). Apart from that, both package-flavours are rather similiar (they are derived from the same source). Hopefully this explained a bit the effort of our own packaging.
