Samba 3.0 upgrade

[gschimek]

I just installed Samba 3.0 on my RH9 machine. I previously had Samba 2.27 installed.

I also just installed webmin. When I use it and try to make changed to my smb.conf file, it shows the samba version as 2.27. How do I make it make changes to samba 3.0, and am I really running 3.0, or is 2.27 still loading?

You should just be able to execute as root:

smbd -V

and it should tell you what version you are using.

If it reports version 3 then Webmin may be reading some older info from somethwre to determine the version number.

If it reports version 2.2.7 then version 3 did not get installed properly. Did you install it as a new install or do an upgrade? Where did you get Samba 3? From the Samba web site or from Red Hat?

If it's reporting version 2.2.7, then I would try to uninstall version 3, then uninstall version 2.2.7. I would then install version 3.0 again.

It's reporting version 2.2.7, so it must not have installed right. I got the program from the samba website.

I realized that the original version was installed via RPM, and I installed 3.0 from source. I uninstalled 2.27 from the package manager and 3.0 via make uninstall (I think). I'm reinstalling from source now. Hopefully it'll work.
