Directory Notes:
========= ======

docs (Samba Documentation):
---------------------------------------
-
- The Samba documentation for the 2.0 release has had all the man pages
- converted to YODL source format. Because of this the man pages
- are now available in both traditional man page format (in
- the doc/manpages directory) and in HTML format (in the
- docs/htmldocs directory).
-
- The text documentation files have been moved into a
- docs/textdocs directory and are in the (slow) process
- of being converted to YODL source format to allow them
- to be easily converted to HTML/SGML.
-
- Note in particular two files - docs/textdocs/<your OS>_INSTALL.txt
- and docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt.
-
- There is the potential for there to be many *INSTALL.txt files, one
- for each OS that Samba supports. However we are moving all this into
- the new structure. For now, most people will be using UNIX_INSTALL.txt.
-
- Please pay close attention to all the files with a .txt extension
- in the docs/textdocs directory. Most problems can be solved by reference to the
- two files mentioned.
-
- The FAQ documentation can be accessed starting from Samba-meta-FAQ.html,
- in the docs/faq directory. This is incomplete, but to quote from the
- abstract, it:
-
- "contains overview information for the Samba suite of programs,
- a quick-start guide, and pointers to all other Samba documentation.
- Other FAQs exist for specific client and server issues, and HOWTO
- documents for more extended topics to do with Samba software."
+---- ----------------------
+
+ All the Samba documentation for the 3.0 release have been converted to
+ docbook format. Because of this the man pages are now available
+ in both traditional man page format (in the docs/manpages directory)
+ and in HTML format (in the docs/htmldocs directory).
+
+ The Samba HOWTO Collection has undergone some rather large changes
+ and covers all parts of configuration now. It is available
+ as PDF (docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf) or in HTML format (in
+ the docs/htmldocs directory). Those with the docbook utilities installed
+ can generate PostScript and text versions of the HOWTO as well.
+
+ The Samba FAQ is still a work in progress, but can be found in
+ HTML format in docs/htmldocs.
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.
packaging (Only for those wishing to build binary distributions):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
+--------- -------------------------------------------------------
+
Currently support is included for the following Linux Distributions :
- Pacfic HiTech, RedHat and SuSE. In addition, packaging support is
- available for SGI and Solaris systems. 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"
+
+ RedHat and SuSE.
+
+ In addition, packaging support is available for SGI and Solaris systems.
+ 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:
+
+ ftp://samba.org/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.
- For Samba 2.0 the GNU autoconf system has been adopted. In
+ Samba uses the GNU autoconf system. In
order to build a default Samba for your platform cd into
the source/ directory and then type :
- ./configure
+ ./configure
followed by :
- make
+ make
To install the binaries built by the above type :
- make install
+ make install
then set up your configuration files.
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.
