Thanks Just installing it on top works most of the time. If you have problems, remove the binaries (.so files and files in bin and sbin) and the re-install. We handle reading and using the sam.ldb and other files in private/ (and elsewhere) from older versions as a natural part of running the updated version. The WHATSNEW suggests a dbcheck command that can be very helpful.

No major Distributions yet include a full version of Samba 4.0 at this stage, as far as I'm aware. (There are major issues for all distributions in integrating the whole of Samba 4.0, if the distribution either has an objection to our Heimdal Kerberos bundle or is packaging Samba 3.6 alongside) This will change, but using 'samba4' packages from the repositories is sadly not the simple way to obtain Samba 4.0.

Thanks I've not used Samba since the 3.0 days actually, but the "make install" process would upgrade an install in place. I believe it could revert to the previous version too by unrenaming all of the old files. - -- - _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Sr. Systems Programmer |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novos...@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/EI-Academic Svcs. - ADMC 450, Newark -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlDaYPUACgkQmb+gadEcsb63pwCcC4k8/5StqSQuMbpj9fv3tsPs h6wAn1O5XdWDinBwcL4KvCEaoP71f3bd =eISi -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Re: [Samba] Update A Compiled Version
He could be using an older distro that never will have it in the repos. I think the bigger question is how will he update it once an update is released if he does compile it, and a I see it that remains unanswered, as I too share the same question. I never trust version X.00, as it is never long before the fixes make it X.01 On Tue, Dec 25, 2012 at 11:24 PM, Robert Heller wrote: > At Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:20:40 -0700 Zane Zakraisek > wrote: > >> >> I'm pretty new to compiling software, although I would rather compile my >> own Samba 4.0.0 server rather than wait for it to become available in the >> repositories of my distribution.

Linux distributions include a compiled version of Samba as part of the distriution's software repository.

[Samba] Update A Compiled Version
I'm pretty new to compiling software, although I would rather compile my own Samba 4.0.0 server rather than wait for it to become available in the repositories of my distribution. How do you update compiled software. Like if I compile and install Samba 4.0.0, and then 4.0.1 comes out, Is there a way to update to that without starting from scratch and having to rebuild my domain?
