[Samba] samba version to use on CentOS?
I see via yum that there is "samba" and there is "samba3x" available for CentOS (my boxes are hooked to the main CentOS repo, Fedora EPEL, and RPMFORGE). 'samba' is 3.0.33 'samba3x' is 3.3.8 Is there any down-side to upgrading to 'samba3x' and running 3.3.8 instead of 3.0.33? I'm assuming that, in general, I should be running the latest stable version, yes? =================== Scott Stone <scott_stone at trendmicro.com> Lead Developer, DCS-RD Trend Micro, Inc. http://www.trendmicro.com TREND MICRO EMAIL NOTICE The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be subject to copyright or other intellectual property protection.

If you want Windows 7 support, you need Samba 3.3.x. Which Fedora repo? I found that FC6 RPM's usually installed OK on RedHat RHEL5.x but anything above was likely to need a newer glibc or libc (or something like that.)
