I am reading stuff and looking through archives prior to asking questions in
the forum. I sense from your shorter responses and tell me to go to links
that you feel I am not.  I apologize for being a pain again.  I just am not
familiar with how people respond to problems with getting samba working and
things like cvs...

Anyway the did the following:

did this ->   1.   Install a recent copy of cvs. All you really need is a
copy of the cvs client binary.
   2. run the command

did this -> cvs -d :pserver:cvs at pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot login

did this ->   3. when it asks you for a password type cvs
   4. run the command

did this -> cvs -z5 -d :pserver:cvs at pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co samba

is this the latest 2.2 source? or is it 3.0 --- I have no way to tell ->
This will create a directory called samba containing the latest samba source
code. This corresponds to the HEAD development branch.

how do I know what branch to use for 3.0? ->      If you want a different
branch use the -r option to the co command to specify the branch. For
example to checkout the SAMBA_2_2 branch run the command

cvs -z5 -d :pserver:cvs at pserver.samba.org:/cvsroot co -r SAMBA_2_2 samba

thought, oh cool, I can cd to /usr/local/samba and type this to update, but
it whines with the following:  cvs update: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use
the `-d' option
cvs [update aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable. ->  5.
Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes use the following
command from within the samba directory:

cvs update -d -P


Is it difficult for you to give me just the cvs commands I need to update
3.0?  I did read all this prior to asking for the exact commands...

Follow the instructions at http://build.samba.org under 'Access via CVS'
for downloading a new checkout.  You can't 'upgrade' your expanded
tarball to a CVS checkout, unfortunately.
