Root,
I am not sure of where you heard about samba-2.2.1 binary rpm being
installed on LMDK7.2 but I must add a few words of caution. Have you
upgraded your glibc? I ask this because samba-2.2.1 has the requirement
of an installed glibc-2.2 and, unless you did the upgrade, LMDK7.2 comes
with glibc-2.1. The samba-2.2.1 binary rpm will not install on LMDK7.2.
If you think you have nightmares with your new samba install, just try
upgrading to glibc-2.2.
If you want to keep your rpm database consistent and viable, your best
hope is to use the src rpm for samba-2.2.1, and do a lot of praying. I
just went through a very similar situation when I tried to upgrade to
bind 9 on LMDK7.2. Bind 9 also needed to have a working glibc-2.2. So I
was forced into doing a lot of upgrading on a wide variety of packages
just so I could rebuild the bind 9 src rpm. It took a lot of time and
work but in the end I was able to get my bind 9 rpms rebuilt for a
LMDK7.2 glibc-2.1 system.
And guess what? Notwithstanding all of the excellent help I received
from such people as Jose S. and kk1, the bind 9 rpms still would not
install. Even though my rebuild of the src rpm seemed to work, i.e. I
had my bind 9 binary rpms all neatly produced in the
"/usr/src/RPM/RPMS/I686" folder, they would not work. When I did a test
on these binary rpms, I got error messages. When Mandrake says
"glibc_2.2 required", hell they really mean it!
If you *REALLY* need samba-2.2.1, you might want to wait until you have
the time to bring your platform up to 8.0 glibc-2.2 standards.
Otherwise, you are in for a rocky ride.
BTW I have samba 2.0.10 running on my network, and it does all I could
ever ask of a samba server. If I may be so presumptuous, may I ask what
the need is for samba-2.2.1. I do have a samba 2.2.1 server running on
LMDK8.0, and it does not do anything better than my samba server-2.0.10.
Just a few thoughts for your edification....
