Samba upgrade probs.....

[KnaveWave]

Right after i finally figure out how to get samba up and running, i get this great idea in my head to upgrade my samba version that comes w/ redhat 7.0 to the latest 2.2 from samba's site. I failed miserably... I tried uninstalling the old package and install the new but somethin wasnt right..... now the old version wont work when i try installing

here is the message i get from smbstatus:

"Couldn't open status file /var/lock/samba/STATUS..LCK"

Somone please help :)

Oh yeah I know what this means... I got this message myself... Belive it or not; it's compling that you do not have that file.

Just create the file via touch.

touch /var/lock/samba/STATUS..LCK, and you should be ok.
