Hello. I am using Red Hat Linux 9, on an Intel PC. My source is: http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ >From that source, I downloaded the following files: samba-3.0.0-3beta3.i386.rpm samba-client-3.0.0-3beta3.i386.rpm samba-common-3.0.0-3beta3.i386.rpm redhat-config-samba-1.0.8-1.noarch.rpm And then, as root, I executed the following command: rpm -Uvh *.rpm All 4 of those RPM's installed without any errors being reported. The above text that I referenced, is copied directly from the new smb.conf that was generated after the RPM upgrade. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. > > > > > My question is, what does this do exactly? The old man pages for samba 2.x > > obviously don't include any reference to this new feature.
