Dear Sirs, I'm running a vanilla CentOS 5.3 server, and yum there has Samba 3.0.33. What's the recommended way to install Samba 3.4 as an upgrade over 3.0.33? Just ./configure && make && sudo make install ? Cheers Nik

Unless you have the time to maintain/upgrade it yourself. They are in the repo because they are stable (That's how it works in debian anyways). And i do believe CentOS takes care of security patches. With regards, Kasper

cd to samba-3.4.0/packaging/RHEL and run sh makerpms.sh then rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/X86_64/samba*3.4.0*.rpm smbpasswd -w /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart Niklas Saers wrote:> Dear Sirs, > > I'm running a vanilla CentOS 5.3 server, and yum there has Samba > 3.0.33.
