Unhappy samba install


I have RH7.1 and I installed as a basic workstation I believe. I'm trying to get Samba-2.2.0a or for that matter any Samba version running. when I try to install the package using rpm -Uvh it states I have a conflict with 2.0.7 version. So does this mean the 2.0.7 version is installed? If so where and why can't I start it? there is no smb in the approp dir to start Samba.

Please help this confused Linux newbie!

Thanks!

I'm not sure which version of Samba RH 7.1 installs. Ho are you trying to upgrade? With a Samba RPM or from source?

Look in /etc/init.d for the startup scripts.

Also, try using "locate smbd" to find the binaries of the server daemons

GonzoJohn,

Thanks for the response.

I downloaded 2.2.0a from website, I don't care whether I have latest version or 2.07 running - I would just like to get samba running to do some testing so either one will work.

I looked in /etc/init.d and it didn't have any smb or samba files that I could tell. What am I looking for specifically?

I ran "locate smbd" and it showed the 2.2.0a files that I installed in /usr/src/redhat/build/samba-2.2.0a/testsuite/smbd/

Does this help you?
