The server currently has 3.0.33 on it, but it needs at least 3.4 to work with windows 7 computers. Red hat will not be upgrading samba beyond 3.0.33 for their 32bit RH5 users. Thus I am stuck and cannot use yum and the red hat repos to do the upgrade.
On site directed me to this page to download the rpms, but I am not experienced enough with manually updating a package. http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/ . I downloaded all the files listed under the 3.6/rhel/5/i386 directory. Thus I was hoping to find to step by step on how to do the upgrade. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Weiss [mailto:cwe...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 2:17 PM To: Marc Fromm Cc: John Drescher; samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] windows 7 cannot connect On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 3:13 PM, Marc Fromm <marc.fr...@wwu.edu> wrote: > My googling seems to point at upgrading samba to 3.4.
