Do I need to download and start installing the rpms for each one of the dependencies? If so, what kind of impact is this going to have on my server. I cannot afford to crash this box (experimenting with rpm's) and have it down for any amount of time. Rob Rob, you can find all of the dependencies either on your d/l CDs or by going to http://www.rpmfind.net/ and doing a search on the item. The lib files you list are part of a larger library package as denoted by the .so.2 or .so.6 but if you search using that name it will find the main library package for you and you can download from the web.

Re: [newbie] samba RPM
With all due respect, if you're struggling with the documentation, Samba is not the place to be. Samba, IMHO, is one of the more difficult programs to configure. I've yet to find an easy way to configure Samba. SWAT caused more problems than it fixed, and the varying iterations of SMB are a pain in the ass. Win95 does it one way, Win98 another, Win2k a third way, etc... The writing in Securing and Optimizing Linux: RedHat edition is fairly well polished. It has an acceptable section on Samba. Check this over: http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3 /chap29sec280.html Also, the SMB HOW-TO is decent: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html What book are you referring to?
