That's correct, except I think I managed to stay out of /opt. Unfortunately one of the final changes to alpha21 broke the building of RPMS on Mandrake, so I am currently fixing the patch, RPMs are thus delayed until tomorrow at least. Under Mandrake 9.0 with the post-alpha20 CVS RPMs here: http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba/samba-3-alpha/9.0/ (AFAICR) the binaries all have suffixes of 3, so smbd in this package is smbd3. Configs are in /etc/samba3. Logs in /var/log/samba3 etc. This is definitely the case with the RPMS in Mandrake cooker, and will be the case with the alpha21 RPMs as soon as I am done with them. No migration of configs are done (since I wouldn't trust it myself, and haven't had time to attempt, let alone test this), so samba3 will have absolutely no impact on your existing config. Just (after copying your configs): # service smb stop && service smb3 start to try samba3, and: # service smb3 stop && service smb start to revert. If you have multiple interfaces, you could even run them simultaneously, but I haven't gotten around to trying that yet. Maybe I will get around to fixing configure.in to support - --program-suffix so that this could be available more easily on other distros.
