[Samba] Samba 2.2.2, queries

[Aslam Ghumra]

Hi Martyn / Samba Team

thank you for that information.

I had removed the old version but I can probably resotr it from a month end
backup tape.

However I have just downloaded the 2.2.3 version (not a)

and I still get the same problems.

I have disabled gcc and using the HP C Ansi compiler.

everything configures fine with warnings but no errors, and I run the make 

fine.

There must be something I'm doing wrong as my other sco / aix  boxes are
fine.

Anyone out there have any ideas ?

regards

Aslam

If you have installed a binary version, then I assume you had a working 
pre-installed samba that came with your distribution of unix.

Various different versions of samba produced by vendors have different 
files in different places (e.g. smb.conf on Slackware 8.0 is in /etc/samba 
in v7.0 it is in /etc and in source versions it is usually in 
/usr/local/lib/samba) so it is advisable to use the package control system 
on your OS to remove old versions before installing new versions.  Also, I 
would reccommend you get the package for samba from the place you got the 
original, which in the case of a preinstalled version would be the 
installation media (cd, floppy, ftp etc.)

Hope this helps.
