Hi .. I didn't read the whole conversation regarding this problem. So, my advice might not be what you want.
However, why are you compiling from source? Why not use RedHat RPM packages instead. It will make your life much easier, and for a newbie the default build config would suffice, I guess. The lates RedHat RPMs for Samba are of version 2.2.7 (They do contain the recent security bugfix). Unless you really want a feature available only in 2.2.8a (which is unlikely), I think that 2.2.7 would do the job for you. Here're the links: http://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/i386/samba-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm http://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/i386/samba-client-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm http://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/i386/samba-swat-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm http://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/i386/samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm Just download all to a directory, and do this to install all four: # rpm -Uvh samba-*.rpm RedHat has the default configuration files for samba in '/etc/samba'. You can look at the default smb.conf and change it to your needs. It's well commented. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
