Samba Upgrade

[scottyp55]

I am running Samba version 3.0.25b-0 on RHEL 5.3. I just downloaded version 3.0.33.
I ran > tar -xf samba-3.0.3..tar.gz

- cd source3

- ./autogen.sh

- ./configure

- make

- make install

When I do a smbstatus, it is still showing version 3.0.25b. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried it twice and it still won't show the updated version.

Thanks,
Scott

Hello

I don't run RHEL so don't know for sure, but can't Samba be installed with YUM?

yum install samba

Would installing with yum make a difference? Wouldn't it still look at the same package and have the same results?

yeah but i think smbstatus is looking at the current running version. have bothered to restart samba? if you install it by source and it was installed somewhere the init packages would be looking, this might cause a problem. not to mention when you go to update your system, you'd have to give yum an exclusion statement or it would potentially override your copy.

i usually like to give whatever distro i'm running the benefit of the doubt. in your case, i'd see what version yum offers.
