The log message shows that the > server doesn't exist. This is not true for Red Hat's samba-swat packages. There the server line points to /usr/sbin/swat.

The dependency chain of other vendor's packages often is not compatible with Red Hat. For instance, while Red Hat provides "samba", "samba-common" and "samba-swat", the samba-2.2.7a-1 rpm you refer to is a single package. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+O6Z30iMVcrivHFQRAvLfAJ9gB6kdUECkgLnlt63K8LjhPBdtNgCdFvee LEof1QiA6Y77kC1OLQij4nI= =FmwX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
