HI Javid. Just type: # rpm -Uvh samba-2.2.5.i386.rpm from the directory where the package is located. ------------------------------------------------ Explanation: # rpm -ivh samba* installs and overwrite the config files, where as # rpm -Uvh samba* upgrades the package and leaves the config files in tact. I'm assuming you're running RedHat, otherwise wait for more replies as I have only worked with RH Linux and I don't know what the difference is. The man pages should always help in all flavours of Linux, just type # man rpm or # man what you're enquiring about.
