Hi Thomas,
 As i wrote that's still the old Version:
/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/bin/smbstatus --> samba version 2.2.7a-SUSE
When i type "Which smbstatus" i get /usr/bin /smbstatus

this looks like a standard installation of SuSE.


I dont know what you mean with  :
For startup the samba processes you should change your Startscript in
"/etc/init.d/samba" where the other version is still started.

Sorry,what should i do with /init.d/samba ?

under /etc/init.d are all system startscripts on SuSE Distributions. So change the path of the both daemons smbd and nmbd. At the moment there are pathes like

/usr/sbin/smbd
/usr/sbin/nmbd

you should change it into

/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/bin/smbd
/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/bin/nmbd

and all other processes in that startscript - winbind is daemon which is started, too. I attachted my samba startscript for you. I changed the PATH variable which has the same effect.

PATH=/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/sbin:$PATH
export PATH

# The echo return value for success (defined in /etc/rc.config).
return=$rc_done
case "$1" in
    start)
        echo -n "Starting SMB services..."
        nmbd -D
        smbd -D
        winbindd
        echo -e "$return"
        ;;
    stop)
        echo -n "Shutting down SMB services."
        killproc -TERM winbindd
        killproc -TERM nmbd
        killproc -TERM smbd
        sleep 2
        killproc -TERM nmbd
        echo -e "$return"
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
        exit 1
esac

# Inform the caller not only verbosely and set an exit status.
test "$return" = "$rc_done" || exit 1
exit 0

Thanks

Hi,

please try

"/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/bin/smbstatus"
Might be, you have a standard installation on your system.
Type
"which smbstatus"

and you will see which prgram are in your default path ($PATH variable)
For startup the samba processes you should change your Startscript in
"/etc/init.d/samba" where the other version is still started.

Hi,

first of all i am Samba beginner! I have this problem :
Samba-2.2.7a is just runing on my Linux Server. I will now install the new
Version of samba-2.2.28a
When i do ./configure, make and make-> install->smbstatus I see that there
is still old Version runing and not
Samba-2.2.8a?!!

My old samba is installed in /etc/samba
and the new vesion is downloaded and installed ( i hope) in
/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a
thnks for your reply

Henry
