Hi there I have installed Mandrake 8.0 on a spare pc with an idea to create a data backup server. Did this with the Samba version that came with ie 2.0.7. However due to system administrators warning me that it is now a security risk, I decided to upgrade to latest version - 2.2.5(they said this should solve the samba problem atleast). I have tried everything to do this but can't seem to get it right. Can someone tell me if they've done this successfully? I need to know the steps taken to get this right. Tried rpms(http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Ma ndrake/updates/8.0/RPMS/[page=0]and rpmsfind.net) and get dependancy errors - try to install the files that are requested and more dependancies - gave up there. Tried a compile from source - halfway successful. Seems files where automatically installed into the wrong directory and when I copied over to right one seems i missed a file dealing with passwords - got stuck there. Services still start up ie smb and nmb(ver 2.2.5) but cannot create new users etc. there must be a simple way to do this! Please help! I need to know how to update packages on Mandrake in order to keep security conscious.
