[Samba] Any pitfalls updating straight from 3.0.34 to 3.5.2?

[ray klassen]

Well that's a bit of a relief. I've no active directory in our system. I was trying to wait for samba 4 to go production. Only thing is I've a win 2008 server that I want to bring into our domain and as it's similar to windows 7, it would seem that an update to 3.atleast4 is indicated.

If you're not connecting to an Active Directory (either as a trusted domain,
or as a domain member), configuring Kerberos may not be required.  
If you do require Kerberos,  the [realms] and [domain_realm] sections would
need to be customized for your network.  Additionally, the default_realm
entry in the [libdefaults] section would need to be edited.

Wow. Thanks.

Is there any quick way do create a krb5.conf file. (i.e. standard defaults
and so on?)

Some entries in your smb.conf have changed default values.  Get a listing
from "testparm -v" before and after to be able to work around those details.


Also, IIRC, With the newer samba 3 packages (starting around 3.3), you need
to have a correctly configured krb5.conf file.

Okay, so I've just put the sernet repo file in my yum.repos.d directory and
a yum update will elevate my samba server to the latest version. Is there
any pitfall that is out there that I can avoid before yum updating.

Centos 5.3
samba3-3.0.34-37 & related packages
openldap-2.3.43-3.el5 & related packages

I still have my samba3-3.0.34 packages squirreled away so I can force
downgrade if I need to, but I don't want to if I don't have to.

Any advice before the plunge?
Ray
