I tried the suggestion below because it looked the easiest. I get the following when I do the 'rpm --rebuild samba-2.2.5-0.src.rpm
checking whether to use traditional smbpasswd file... yes --More--configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.98694 (%build) checking whether to use NISPLUS_HOME... no checking whether to use SSL... no checking whether to use syslog logging... yes When I do SMBD -V I still get Version 2.2.0a I looked over samba.conf but being the newbie I am, I really do not see anything that stands out. Does anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated. Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 07/11/2002 04:07 PM To: "Peter E.

I appreciate any assistance this newbie can receive. Thanks. Another solution is to download the src rpm for samba 2.2.5 from : ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/lmuelle/src/ Depending on the options you need you will probably have to modify the spec for the rpm to tune it to your needs. If not you can rebuild directly from the src rpm using : rpm --rebuild samba-2.2.5-0.src.rpm If you have to change the spec file (it contains the configure command) then first install the src rpm rpm -i samba-2.2.5-0.src.rpm Then modify the spec file, I think you will find it in /usr/src/packages/SPEC (don't forget the increase the Release field after each modification of the spec file) Then build the s390.rpm files using rpm -bb samba.spec Have fun with it, Tim -- =========================================================================== Tim Verhoeven Linux & Open Source Specialist GSM : 0496 / 693 453 + e-business solutions Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] + consulting URL : www.sin.khk.be/~dj/ + Server consolidation ===========================================================================
