Hello,
I'm trying to install samba on my Redhat 7.1 or maybe 7.1.5 system. I got
the latest Samba-client and samba-common packages from the Redhat site
with up2date. There were no error messages. However I can't find the
daemons that are mentioned in the samba Howto. When I went to the download
site recommended by the howto, the directory names were totally unhelpful.
"rpm -q samba" says that the package is not installed, but when I try to
install the packages from the 7.1 cd's it says that there are newer
versions of the packages already installed.
What's the next step?
Thanks.
John

I got the Samba-client package from the Redhat site, but I can't figure out how to get the server. When I try to install the RPM's from the cd's I eventually wind up with a module dependency that can't be resolved with the cd I have in the drive.

You cannot just use the latest rpm without updating its dependencies. PS: Any reason you're not using 7.2? You should be able to upgrade with something like: up2date -p I think that's the correct flag, anyway. PS: Red Hat is a good ways into its next beta cycle called Skipjack.

The smbclient program doesn't need to be launched. Do man smbclient to get a handle on it. Once you are satisfied that you've got all the pieces in place, I can write more about actually using samba.

Samba has been here for something like 8 or 10 years, and it used to be a network hog and slow, but now it's frankly, amazing! It's a great example of free software at it's best. while I don't have an array of machines using it now, I recently saw how smoothly a bunch of windows and linux machines can happily coexist. not that it fixes your problems, but let's all lift our java-mugs in salute! -----Original Message----- From: blinux-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:blinux-list-admin@redhat.com]On Behalf Of Janina Sajka Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 5:45 PM To: blinux-list@redhat.com Subject: Re: Installing Samba on RedHat 7.1 It's not called server in the rpm package name.
