I am trying to upgrade samba from 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix to 3.0.14a and am having some issues. The server is Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla) with Kernel 2.4.18-3 I have download the samba source, compiled, and installed it, but none of my older files seem to be updated. I noticed that the new version is installed to /usr/local/samba but most of the old files are in /usr/bin (such as smbpasswd, smbclient, etc.) Do I have to link these files? Am I missing something?? Thanks

You are missing documentation. Please read the chapter on Updating/Upgrading Samba in the book "Samba-3 by Example" (aka. Samba-Guide). It is chapter 8, and your copy is waiting for you at: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf Please let me know if we missed anything - it is vitally important that we get the documentation right. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Samba-Team Member Phone: +1 (650) 580-8668 Author: The Official Samba-3 HOWTO & Reference Guide, ISBN: 0131453556 Samba-3 by Example, ISBN: 0131472216 Hardening Linux, ISBN: 0072254971 Other books in production.

One of my biggest frustrations when I first set up Samba several years ago was the lack of documentation. Understandable at the time, it was practically a one-man show then, and I was grateful to have a tool that worked so well. Now I'm drowning in information, but love it. Second, I've been able to read the docs in HTML format, which is really the most convenient for me, but you (and others) always provide links to the .pdf file, and I only get a blank page when I follow your links. I can't figure out what's going on. I have the Adobe Reader plug-in installed, but nothing shows up on the page. I've tried both Firefox and (shudder) IE with the same results. I'm able to read .pdf docs at other sites with no problem. One thing I haven't tried yet is to view the page source code to see if I con figure out what's wrong. I don't mean to complain, mind you. I'd really rather not read the .pdf, but wanted to let you know. -- Roger
