I've just finished an upgrade from 2.2.8a to 3.0.3 on my old pc file server. Many years ago it used to be a RH 6.2 machine but most packages (including Samba) have now been built from source.
I have a couple of observations that might be worth including in the documentation/man pages to help other users:
The swat man page instructions for editing /etc/inetd.conf refer to:
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat
but this should now be:
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/sbin/swat swat
^as the swat is now installed to sbin by default.
The default install now places smbd and nmbd in the sbin directory as well where previously they were in bin. The /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb script I have on my machine was pointing to the bin directory so I just restarted the old binaries until I noticed that a small edit was required to point to the new location. It was only chasing down the reason for swat still showing the old version number and the absence of the shares/connections on the swat status page that gave me hint that something was wrong.
It would be useful if samba told a log file what version it was when it starts - certainly would have saved me a lot time.
Keep up the good work.
