As an active RHEL user and CentOS and Scientific Linux user, I've got to tell you, nothing should be *allowed* to run on such an old system. Production suport for RHEL 3 ended in 2010, there is extended support available until January 30, 2014, but it's going to stink to be you trying to maintain that platform, especially since security updates have fallen well behind. EPEL has dropped support for it, the "mock" toolkit for building RPM's cleanly has even dropped support for RHEL 4, Amazingly, rpmforge is still doing some updates for RHEL 3, but system components will be in the rpmforge "extras" repository, so you'll have to dig around for them. Tools like "rsync" will benefite from the RPMforge update. If you need it, you can try my SRPM components for Samba 3.6.10 at https://github.com/nkadel/samba-3.6.10-srpm. But of course getting *git* to work on RHEL 3.x will be an adventure, itself, and don't even ask about other source control systems like Subversion. I'm the current author of the latest Subversion RPM's for RPMforge, for Subversion 1.6.x and Subversion 1.7.x I'd really encourage you to update to RHEL 5, which is current and maintained, or RHEL 6, which is the current release. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
