??? Here is where we go away from the pack!! And another reason why I went
down the road I did.
I am using Slackware-14.2. (This cannot be changed)
I have an error in my samba log file as follows:? (no module name 'dns')
=================================================================== ? samba

======================================================================
I have: (installed)
root at dns2:/var/adm/samba# python3 --version
Python 3.9.5
root at dns2:/var/adm/samba#
Plus: (installed)
dnspython-1.12.0-i486-1_SBo.tgz
?? I tried downloading and compiling the latest dnspython-2.2.0 and I
get the same
error. Bug perhaps??? Test machines have the same error and are working
properly.
??? As far as upgrading samba, I can do that pretty easily once I get
this one working
properly.? I can go up to samba-4-13.9. 4-14.x won't compile on my
Slackware.
