Installing Samba on RedHat 7.1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



John:

Samba is very sensitive about modules. You cannot just use the latest rpm without updating its dependencies.

PS: Any reason you're not using 7.2? You should be able to upgrade with something like:

up2date -p

I think that's the correct flag, anyway.

PS: Red Hat is a good ways into its next beta cycle called Skipjack.
