Samba is not running at all, it is the rpm that is failing this dependency.
If I install the rpm with nodeps it won't start for the same reason, it
needs libreadline.so.3

If an 'xterm' is one running X-Windows then I don't have any

I have installed from the tarball, but can't work out what the command is
to start it. The other times I have installed from the RPM file it has
included a start/stop/restart script

libreadline.so.3 is in /lib /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib the first
two directories are listed in /etc/ld.so.conf. I have been installing
libreadline.so.3 from a tarball of readline-2.2.1 from gnu.org, which
tells me it includes librreadline.so.3 (or was that info on rpmfind.net?).
I unpacked the tarball in /usr/local and ran the install from the resulting
directory. Should that work?
I want samba to enable easy access from my windows boxes and to allow Squid
to do smb_auth authorisation.
