Bill apt-get purge would be a better option, other than that, make sure that /usr/local/samba/bin and sbin are first in your path and all should be well still... add the following line to /root/.bashrc at the very end:
export PATH=/usr/local/samba/sbin:/usr/local/samba/bin:$PATH then as root do a `. /root/.bashrc` and try `samba -V` again. (you can also add that export line to any of your users .bashrc) Ricky On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 7:54 PM, Bill Wilken <bill.wil...@wilkenmail.com>wrote: > Thanks for the note.
