Despite Craig's excellent help with my Excel/Samba, I continue to have trouble with Samba 3.0.10 under CentOS 4.2. Quickbooks, now, too, is just acting really weird.
I'm tempted to upgrade beyond the regular packages, although I really don't like to do that, because the samba list and a lot of info online lead me to believe that 3.0.11+ fixes these issues.
What's the best way to use something newer than the regualr packages? Does someone out there have a CentOS repo with a newer samba? Should I just use the Fedora packages?
I've never used packages from here, but you might check out http://enterprisesamba.com/
---- I've not used them either.
I should point out that it should be rather simple to rebuild from the samba.org source rpms per their instructions...
http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/Fedora/ (I think that even though they are tagged 'Fedora' those are the proper source rpms for RHEL-4 and rebuilds)
download the source...
rpmbuild --rebuild ...
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/samba*
