Re: [Samba] Upgrade to Samba 2.2.12 (HP/UX 11.11)
I don't know how to figure out how it was compiled. However, I do know how to get it to build on that platform. However, I do not remember what the gotchas are. Try it out and ask a question when you run into a problem. _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - User Support Spec.

(ii) I don't lose any of the configuration files that may have been modified (eg smb.conf, private directory etc etc). How are you installed? If your binaries are in a global slush bin like /usr/local/sbin and what not then the best way is to manually back them up. I believe you're looking for tdb files aside from the smb.conf file. Creative use of find and tar would be your best bet... perhaps, from / (root) tar -cvf backup.tar `find / -name *.tdb` If however, the previous admin had flexibility in mind, they could have installed to a version specific location and then linked around the problem. For example, on our solaris boxes we install to /opt/samba-version then link to /opt/samba. That way our init scripts always find it, and the old tree is always in place for a quick revert. (i) The upgraded version is compiled with all the relevant options. I think we also have the old source tree in place. If that's the case, then you should be able to find a config.log, config.cache, or config.status (seems to change from package to package) and find the ./configure line that was used. That should get you past the configure part. There could also be environment flags and what not, but the configure should complain about libraries it needs if you are missing some of them. -- -- Paul GiengerOffice: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.
