Hi!

Summary - 2.2.12 rpm package from us1.samba.org
failed on my redhat 7.3 system

Installing stack version of /etc/pam.d/samba...
error: execution of %postun scriptlet from
samba-2.2.7-3.7.3 failed, exit status 1

looks like the samba server is dead
now.

I stopped and restarted the smb process,
and now people can connect..sort of..
but a few errors at this stage.

What do I do now??

thanks

Ok - looking at adding winXP pro systems
into my old samba server, I noticed that
some of the erratum mentions dealing with
new patches to winXP clients..

so.. I decided time to upgrade from
samba 2.2.3 to 2.2.12 ..

well I found a 2.2.7 rpm at redhat,
and did that (rpm -Fvh samba*). worked.

then I picked up a 2.2.12 rpm from 
us1.samba.org

ftped it..

ftp> mget sam*
mget samba-2.2.12-1_rh73.i386.rpm? y
 
but then got a problem:

[root at server sambadownload]# rpm -Fvh
samba-2.2.12-1_rh73.i386.rpm

This is normal if an SMB client has never connected to
your server.
