Compile Differences

[Greg J. Zartman, P.E.]

Jeremy,

I've downloaded an update to the Samba 2.2 source a couple times not and
have been playing around with compiling and installing and am still getting
strange results.

For example, I specified the --libdir=/etc and the make routine compiles the
executables to look for the smb.conf file in /usr/local/samba/etc/samba
directory.  I even played around with setting the --with-fhs=no, and I
didn't get what I expected.

Should I be looking at using a different set of paths for samba.  It appears
to me like it is preferred to have everything in the /usr/local/samba
directory tree.

Thank you

Regards,

Greg
