You definitely want to check out portupgrade if you're wanting to maintain software from the ports collection, but I'm afraid a
# portupgrade samba-2.2.8 will not get you the desired results. Now, I don't know if they're mutually exclusive, but you may want to install Samba 3.x on another machine to test it first. I use it here at home, and yes the 3.x branch does introduce alot of functionality not found in 2.2.8. -- Joshua "Lousy, loveable dog." -- Homer Simpson _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
