SMB problems... Fwd: SMB fileserver

[Eric Dunbar]

Hello XL bear,

This is part of a thread (titled SMB fileserver) that appeared in late
March. This is the most important e-mail of the bunch but I posted a
few follow-up clarification e-mails that you may want to check out
(detailing what I did to get SMB working).

Follow the hint...

If you can't find enough info to get you going, let me know & I can
FWD the others too.

Good luck, Eric.

1) Grab the samba src rpm from your favorite mirror:

ftp://mirror.services.wisc.edu/mirrors/linux/distributions/yellowdog/update
s/yellowdog-4.0/SRPMS/samba-3.0.10-1.ydl.1.src.rpm

2) install it (as root): rpm -ivh samba-3.0.10-1.ydl.1.src.rpm

3) Save the attached patch to /tmp/

4) cd /usr/src/yellowdog/SPECS/; patch -p0 < /tmp/samba-pwd.pat

5) cd ..; rpmbuild -bb SPECS/samba.spec

6) rpm -Fvh RPMS/ppc/samba-*
