UPGRADE Samba from Source

mlsrar · 01-06-2010, 03:59 PM

Now that we are starting to face the reality of Vista/Win7 implementations, we will need to do an upgrade of Samba to enable functionality.

I am having difficulty in upgrading our version of Samba (3.3.4), as I compile from source, and do not use binary distributions. I'm running Slack12 and could really use some help on how I can build samba from source and UPGRADE it easily?

Thanks!

What difficulties that you are facing?
Are you expecting to do this task without effecting samba service(means zero downtime)?
Is there any error message when you compiling the new source?
