Upgrading samba.
 

So i currently have samba Version 2.2.7a and want to upgrade to 3.0.7-1
so i used wget to download the rpm file from samba.org and ran
rpm -ivh <file name>.tar.gz

then this is what follows:


[root@XXXXXX sambainstall]# rpm -ivh samba-3.0.7-1_rh9.i386.rpm
warning: samba-3.0.7-1_rh9.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 2f87af6f

i have shut down smbd service and even tried as root.

anyone seen this before or have a url to a link somewhere?

thanks.

rpm -ivh will only install.. if your upgrading with rpm's and the previous version was installed with rpm.. do a:

rpm -Uvh <package-name>

Ok, so i tried that and this is what i got.
