[Samba] Removing Samba

[Troy.A Johnson]

Ted, 

No problem, but you still didn't include the info 
I asked for. :-|

What are you installing Samba on? Red Hat 
Linux? 
What version? 5.1?
On what hardware? A 486?

Where did you get the original RPMs for the 
Samba verson that is installed now? Did they 
come on the same CD as the distribution? Do 
you know what the filenames are? What is the 
output of the 'rpm -qa | grep samba' command 
that I sent previously (it doesn't change anything 
just provides information).

Where did you get the RPMs for the version 
of Samba you want to install now (the one 
you tried to update to)? Did they come from 
the same vendor, or the Samba web site? 
What is the name of the file (or files)? 

I could try to guess at the details, but I 
could waste a lot of time doing that. Please 
fill in the blanks so I don't have to try, and 
keep the conversation on the list so others 
can possibly benefit from whatever answers 
are given (and perhaps correct mine if I am 
wrong).

Good luck, 

Troy

Thanks Troy for your quick response.

I should have said a bit more than what I did.  I think I have messed up
my 
Samba installation such that I think it best to just start over.  An
Update 
using the latest release of Samba and using RPM files won't work. And
rather 
than do everything by hand I thought if I could just use RPM to remove
what I 
have, I could than load up a new version of Samba without any
difficulties.

At least that is what I was thinking.  

Thanks..
