Hi from Barcelona, We've recently inherited support of a server which is running version 2.2.3a of Samba. Obviously this version is well out of date, i know ideally we should move to version 3, but at the moment we're thinking of updating to 2.2.12. The problem is I have no idea how the original version of Samba was compiled and installed. The service that's running is pretty important, so i need to make sure that (i) The upgraded version is compiled with all the relevant options. (ii) I don't lose any of the configuration files that may have been modified (eg smb.conf, private directory etc etc). The system is running HP/UX B.11.11 (yeeeuch !) - but no HP 'packages' have been installed for Samba, i believe everything was compiled from source. I think we also have the old source tree in place. Can anyone advise the best way to go about tackling this ? Thanks for all your help, Merry Christmas to all !

Hi, Can anybody tell me if there are problems or there have been configuration changes in recent versions of samba. We use Debian Sarge workstations as domain members (with samba, winbind, pam_mount, pam_mkhomedir, you know...) and recently the server part does not authenticate users. If you do smbclient -L localhost... you get: "session setup failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF)" With more debbugging info somewhat about spnego failed and then I disable it in smb.conf. I'm afraid that those are Kerberos related problems becaus at home anything has stopped working... Thanks. If anyone can respond with this information thanks. If anyone needs desperately the debug output and other traces I'll send it but I don't want to bother you since that limits.
I don't know how to figure out how it was compiled. However, I do know how to get it to build on that platform. However, I do not remember what the "gotchas" are. Try it out and ask a question when you run into a problem. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - User Support Spec.
