Hi all, we have CentOS 3.3 running here on our Samba server. Problem is, that we need to mount samba shares on our Win2003 server. Is there a way to install (new) samba-3.1 rpms for CentOS 3.3? tia!
First I'd recommend upgrading to CentOS 3.5, as it has a number of security fixes not in 3.3. Second, and mostly for clarification, the samba 3.0.9 included with centos 3.5 works like a champ with win2003server. Is there any specific reason you need 3.1?
Lastly, yes you can install samba 3.1 rpms on the system, but this will break from RHEL3 compatibility and you won't get security updates for the 3.1 rpms unless you install those yourself also.
