Ok here is the state of play.
I found that in /lib and /usr/lib there was a libreadline soft link for
4.1.1 pointing back to libreadline.so.3, so I trashed them!
Got rid of the samba rpm, downloaded the latest version from samba.org as a
tarball. Have unpacked and installed that without error.
Changed the entries in inetd.conf to reflect the new locations of smbd and
nmbd:
netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd
netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd
when I tried to start nmbd and then smbd with the -D option I was getting
the following in the messages.log
Jan 29 14:43:11 gatekeeper inetd[351]: /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd: exit
status 0x1
Jan 29 14:43:12 gatekeeper last message repeated 38 times
Jan 29 14:43:12 gatekeeper inetd[351]: netbios-ns/udp server failing
(looping), service terminated
however the two services now seem to be running (and I don't know what I
did) and the samba server appears in the browse list in W2K in the correct
domain, but I can't login! I have removed and replaced the server in the
domain using Server Manager on the Domain PDC.
I normally use domain name\username
Any clues appreciated
