To Whom it may concern: I am new to the samba world. I need to get samba running on AIX 4.3. Is there a different download than the one that is on the site or are they all the same. I downloaded samba-3.11.tar.tar. When I try and untar it on the system, it gives me an error. Any help from you would be appreciated. Thanks Rami Mantoura Foremost Systems, Inc

The download is normally a gzipped tar file, named something like samba-3.0.11.tar.gz You need to uncompress it first, or do it all at once: gunzip -c samba-3.0.11.tar.gz | tar xfv - -- Tim Evans, TKEvans.com, Inc. | 5 Chestnut Court tkevans@tkevans.com | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/ | 443-394-3864 http://www.come-here.com/News/ |
How did you download it, to have the filename come out that way? I seem to recall some situations in which a .tar.gz will come out named .tar.tar.... but I can't remember which. My memory wants to say that downloading via Internet Explorer will do this, but I could be wrong.
