Randomly Generated Quote (861 of 1270): Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementiae fuit. [There is no great genius without some touch of madness.] -- Seneca Ed, Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!!! Seriously, I prefer rpm's, but I have servers still running mandriva 2005le and no one has built rpms for that distro for well over a year. So instead of worrying about installing some new OS, I simply started building them from scratch/source. Simple process, you only need to figure out what the ./configure options need to be once and then updates are a breeze. THE BASICS (1) download the latest samba-rev#.tar.gz; (2) unzip it with tar -xzf samba-rev#.tar.gz (3) change into the new samba-rev# directory (4) actually read the README file (5) cd into the new samba-rev#/source directory (6) run sh autogen.sh FIGURING OUT THE CONFIGURE OPTIONS While looking at the output of ./configure --help may be daunting, unless you have very special needs, the only config options you need are very straight forward. They are basically limited to: Where are your samba binaries/libs are stored and where do the documentation, config, and password files go? For your binaries and libraries, most of the time it is just a matter of determining whether they are stored, under /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/lib or someplace else like /usr/local/samba/bin, /usr/local/samba/sbin and /usr/local/samba/lib? If you look at the path before the /bin, /sbin and /lib, that is the prefix to where things go. So logically, ./configure has the primary option of --prefix= that needs to be set. To get this right, just check (as root) # which smbclient /usr/bin/smbclient # which smbd /usr/sbin/smbd That tells you the right /bin directory is /usr/bin and the right the right /sbin directory is /usr/sbin. So setting the proper --prefix= for configure is: --prefix=/usr A quick check with ls /usr/lib will confirm that /usr/lib/samba is there and the proper prefix for the lib directory is also /usr. The only other parameters that I found vary from the ./configure defaults are the --infodir= (where the /info documentation files go); the --mandir= (where the man pages go); the --with-configdir= (where the smb.conf file goes) and the --with-privatedir= (where the smbpasswd file goes). Just check you system and find out. On Mandriva (RedHat type systems) the documentation lives under the prefix /usr/share and the smb.conf and smbpasswd live under the prefix /etc/samba. THAT'S IT! That's all the magic required for a basic setup compile from source! (of course it is up to you to have the needed c compiler and make utilities installed on your system)(you can throw in the --target= option for grins.) So if you have taken note of the ./configure options discussed above, your ./configure from source should look like this: # ./configure --prefix=/usr --infodir=/usr/share --mandir=/usr/share --with-configdir=/etc/samba --with-privatedir=/etc/samba --target=i686 Or, in a more readable for with line continuations: # ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --infodir=/usr/share \ --mandir=/usr/share \ --with-configdir=/etc/samba \ --with-privatedir=/etc/samba \ --target=i686 Just execute the ./configure as shown above and wait 3 minutes while tons of stuff gets printed to the screen. If it completes without crashing and telling you about an error condition then execute the make utility # make Same as configure, but wait 5 minutes, if it doesn't bomb with errors, your are ready to install. (./configure and make can be done as normal a normal user, but the *make install* requires being *root) # make install Now restart smbd and nmbd and go check things out. Is everything still connected?, output of smbclient -U% -L localhost report the right samba version? If nothing is working and you are in a huge panic of Oh $4!T what now!! Don't worry. #make revert Restores the previous samba install and you can now go figure out why things didn't work as planned. Remember, when writing for help, it helps to include you OS, smb.conf and a level 10 debug capturing detailed error

Or is it easier/preferred/better to stick with the rpm's and build them from the src? I know there are opinions on both sides but I wouldn't mind hearing a few as I try and decide if I should continue with the rpm on a FC6 machine or convert to a src install Ed, Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!!! Seriously, I prefer rpm's, but I have servers still running mandriva 2005le and no one has built rpms for that distro for well over a year. So instead of worrying about installing some new OS, I simply started building them from scratch/source. Simple process, you only need to figure out what the ./configure options need to be once and then updates are a breeze. THE BASICS (1) download the latest samba-rev#.tar.gz; (2) unzip it with tar -xzf samba-rev#.tar.gz (3) change into the new samba-rev# directory (4) actually read the README file (5) cd into the new samba-rev#/source directory (6) run sh autogen.sh FIGURING OUT THE CONFIGURE OPTIONS While looking at the output of ./configure --help may be daunting, unless you have very special needs, the only config options you need are very straight forward. They are basically limited to: Where are your samba binaries/libs are stored and where do the documentation, config, and password files go? I prefer to keep all source installed packages out of the Distro-maintained directories (/usr). Historically, this was traditionally done on unix systems by using --prefix=/usr/local. I prefer to put Samba into /private/samba, but that's really up to you. If you are going to install from source, I recommended using /usr/local as the prefix.

Any considerations for the smb.conf? I can't think of any off hand myself, but thought I'd put it out on the list just in case... In my particular situation, removing the rpm also removed the /var/log/samba dir and all subtrees, so if you want the log history of the machines, back that up first, and restore after removing the rpm. Otherwise, you must create the /var/log/samba directory. Also, for the Redhat/Fedora users, you will want to backup the /etc/init.d/smbd script and then restore and edit to point to the /usr/local/samba/sbin directory. Other than that, the migration was quite painless, and now I'm finally running an up to date samba with an up to date samba-vscan vfs plugin. Thanks for all the input. I am going to try rebuilding the rpm's from the src rpm first. If that fails for any reason, I will then try installing from the tar ball trying to reproduce all the file paths, etc. I will pass on any worthwhile notes if it differs from what's already been posted...
