I don't have Fedora, I have RHAS3 at the moment. The samba.org srpm installs fine on RHAS3. But ... You need to read up on rpmbuild and practice using it. rpmbuild --rebuild package.srpm gives me a vanilla binary rpm package in my /usr/src/redhat/RPM/i386 directory, that I can install with rpm. This assumes I have installed all compiler and development support in advance. However, I'm not satisfied with a vanilla rpm, I want to change compile configure options. So I do rpm -ivh package.srpm, go to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS, edit the spec file I've just installed, go back to the package directory and do rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/samba.spec and I get a custom rpm in /usr/src/redhat/RPM/i386, which I can then install with rpm -Uvh. Sounds daunting, but it isn't really, if one's used to compiling source code (which one should be ;) The samba.org srpms give less trouble than many other srpms, hats off to the maintainers. --Tonni > i have downloaded and read the samba pdf manuls by john terpstra, jelmer > vernooij, and jerry carter (excellent reading), but did not find my specific > issue. -- mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.billy.demon.nl -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
