Most problems can be solved by reference to the two files mentioned. examples (Example configuration files): ---------------------------------------------- Please pay close attention to the reference smb.conf file smb.conf.default that has now been included as the master guide. Do read the smb.conf manual page in considering what settings are appropriate for your site. packaging (Only for those wishing to build binary distributions): ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently support is included only for RedHat Linux. We hope that other Unix OS vendors will contribute their binary distribution packaging control files - and we hope to make their binary packages available on the master ftp site under: samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/"OS_Vendor" source (The official Samba source files - expect more of these!): -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To build your own binary files you will need a suitable ansi C compiler. Also, you must edit the enclosed "Makefile" as required for your operating system platform. Then just run: a) make b) make install then c) set up your configuration files. NOTE: OS Vendors who provide Samba binary packages will generally integrate all Samba files into their preferred directory locations. These may differ from the default location ALWAYS used by the Samba sources. Please be careful when upgrading a vendor provided binary distribution from files you have built yourself.
