Samba2.0.6 tgz compile questions.

[Steve Litt]

The /usr/local/samba encapsulated tree is an acquired taste. As a Red Hat
guy the first time I saw it I felt sick. But then I started to like it. I
have 2.0.5a, 2.0.6 and 2.1 all hanging off /usr/local, and I switch
versions with a script that reassigns symlink samba to one of the above.
When I install Samba, I know I'm not messing with any Red Hat stuff.

As far as the no smb.conf, I like it. Too many people start their setup
using one of those behamoth example smb.conf files, and then wonder why
they have so much trouble with fault isolation. Testparm tells you to put
in smb.conf, and then the next time tells you to create the locks file, and
then everything works (after you add encrypted passwords).

So take a few days to get used to the /usr/local/samba setup, and see if
you like it.
