Charles, Where is the DIAGNOSIS.txt file at? One of the problems that I am currently having is that it is trying to broadcast on an IP address that is out of the range that I have. Mine goes from 74 -78, but the machine is going to 79 as a bcast. That appears to be my only issue right no

Re: Dumb Question...

Don't kid yourself. Installing from a tar file is not easier to do, or easier to manage than using rpm. It will also not fix your samba problems :) How about going through the DIAGNOSIS.txt file in your samba docs dir, and report back how far you got before it fails. It's been a long time since

Charles, Thank you for the information. I will keep this for future reference. I know one thing for sure I am going to try to use a tar file to install from now on. No more RPM's for me. One would think that SAMBA would be as easy as they state in the books that I got for it. NOT... **

Hi, Preparing to upgrade to 2.2.18 before 2.4.0 was released I saw a requirement for 'bin86'. As I cannot find this on my current reinstall of RH 7 with all errata and updates, I am wondering what bin86 contains, whether this is a new requirement for the newer kernels, and whether there is any
