But if you build vanilla 2.2.8, you lose the many patches that SuSE has applied to 2.2.5. I noticed a file named something like printing.diff had over 9000 lines of changes. I didn't do elaborate testing, but I tried the *up*loading piece of print drivers described in the SHARE Samba/print pitch (see http://linuxvm.org/present/SHARE100/s9325mma.pdf). For me, it worked with the SLES-8 RPM, but not Samba-2.2.7 (I haven't tried Samba 2.2.8). SuSE has patched their Samba-2.2.5 rpm (samba-2.2.5-71.s390.rpm), which I believe has the patch to the recent security exposure (it should, it was a SuSE developer who found it). I believe you would get that RPM if you have support from SuSE (can anyone confirm?). > We're supposedly going to be making my hand-built RPM's available soon For Samba, are any of the SuSE patches retrofitted? I know this can be tricky work as the package owners may or may not have picked up the changes from the distributors, and other code paths diverge. -Mike MacIsaac, IBM [EMAIL PROTECTED] (845) 433-7061
