Is there a specific function you need in Samba 3 that is not available in Samba 2? If not I would recommend sticking with the distro-supplied RPM. The main reason that I suggest this is because there seems to be a nasty bug in Samba (s390) whereby TDB files become corrupt under a significant workload. Samba must be recycled to work around the TDB corruption. This is being addressed in PMR 68139. There is a workaround to use the smb.conf global "mmap = no" which seems to avoid the problem in Samba 2, but not in the latest Samba 3. If you must build it, there are two major flavors - LDAP-enabled or not (classic). SuSE SLES-8 ships Samba built both ways. I'd recommend deciding on one and getting the ./configure parameters from the SLES-8 .srpm file., unininstalling the RPM then building via ./configure; make; make install. -Mike MacIsaac, IBM mikemac at us.ibm.com (845) 433-7061 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
