Hi, you mean that 3.2 will not talk to Windows 10, no way?
Unfortunately the latest Samba version for Debian Lenny is 3.2.15 AFAIK.

Hallo, ZeroUno,

Du meintest am 05.02.16:

No - I don't mean that.
It's possible that also 3.2 does the job; I know that 3.6 does it.

Just take a try.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut

If you insist on using an outdated and lo longer supported platform, you 
can always build a newer version of Samba yourself.

But before you do that, have a look here (courtesy of Google using 
"debian lenny samba 3.6"):

Thank you Viktor,
I already found those packages, but I'm afraid they can be custom 
versions which can maybe behave differently or else...:

- their names are all prefixed with "sernet-"
- looking on www.sernet.de I see the company "...provides its own Samba 
packages as SAMBA+ (formerly EnterpriseSAMBA up until version 4.2)"
- on the same web site I cannot find any official description or link 
for those packages.

Anyway, I hope I can upgrade that Debian server in time.

You can use these to upgrade your samba, they use the same path's as the
debian packages and can be used as inplace replacement.

And if unsure about this 
Backup : 
/etc/samba
/var/lib/samba
/var/cache/samba 

Install add the repo for the sernet 3.6 and run 

echo "deb http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.6/debian lenny main"
>> /etc/apt/sources.list

wget http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/sernet-samba-keyring_1.4_all.deb
dpkg -i sernet-samba-keyring_1.4_all.deb

apt-get update

dpkg -l | grep samba 
apt-get install sernet-samba

and check if you missing files based on the "dpkg -l | grep samba"

install these also if its not done automaticly

Only thing you need to the after, is check your smb.conf for changes, 
and go through your logs.


If you want to revert back, remove the repo line from the sources.list
stop samba
put the backup back.
apt-get clean && apt-get autoclean && apt-get update
apt-get install --force-all samba
