good afternoon,
current status:
samba pdc running samba 3.0.10-1.fc3 on fedora core 3 on a dell server.
clients are windows 2000 pro workstations.
authentication is via tdbsam.
pretty vanilla setup. no active directory, ldap, winbind, etc.
i have downloaded the rpm's from samba.org for current stable release samba
3.0.14a-1. usually i perform upgrades to samba server using rpm -Fvh
samba-*, with this set of rpm's the update does not run using the rpm -Fvh
command.
i do recall list traffic that did not recommend upgrading this way, but have
not had any problems in the past doing it this way.
could someone steer me to documentation that would help me upgrade the samba
software via rpm?
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.
thank you,
stuart
Stuart,
I understand your predicament.
Redhat/ Fedora package Samba in a different way than the rpm you just
downloaded from the site. You can usually find 3 or 4 samba rpm's
installed on Fedora 3 :
samba-common-3.0.10-1.fc3
samba-3.0.10-1.fc3
samba-client-3.0.10-1.fc3
I can't remember exactly, but i think gnome-vfs2-smb depends on
samba-common. Other gnome rpm's depend on gnome-vfs2-smb etc ....
The rpm from the site provides one rpm package :
samba-3.0.14a-1
If your not bothered about using gnome you can uninstall the Fedora
Samba rpm's (stop samba first of course):
rpm --nodeps -e samba samba-common samba-client
then install the rpm from samba.org
rpm -Uvh samba-3.0.14a-1.i386.rpm
One thing to look out for. What was previously located in
/var/cache/samba is now located in /var/lib/samba.
