Thanks.
In my case the .tdb files are in "/var/cache/samba"
Is there a possibility that there are other files anywhere else?
1) /etc/samba
2) /var/cache/samba
I was thinking of building from sources and then just trying the new daemon.
That way I could go back to the old one easily if necessary.

Hi,
I use debian but this should be similar.
To backup your important files, backup the /etc/samba and
/var/lib/samba directories doing like this, after stop the samba
daemon:
# cp -a /var/lib/samba /var/lib/samba.bak
# cp -a /etc/samba /etc/samba.bak
Then you could do the upgrade. If something goes wrong, reinstall the
old version and restore the copied directories.

# cp -a /var/lib/samba /var/lib/samba.bak
# cp -a /etc/samba /etc/samba.bak

Hi,
I would like to appempt a SAFE upgrade on my samba server. ( Centos 5.2 )
Currently the version is:
# /usr/sbin/smbd -V
Version 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1
There are many users logging on to it and accessing the shares.
The last time I tried this ( quite a while ago )
something broke and we had to re-join many windows machines.
It would be nice to have a strategy for rolling back if something does not
work.
Where are all of the important files?
Would anyone have any advice, suggestions, indications of what to read,
etc...?
Thanks, Bill
