I am perhaps going about this the hard way of getting SAMBA all running on my Centos 4 install... These scripts are set up to work with Fedora Core 3 or K12LTSP 4.2 I got the install to work. It did not seem to hard. Then the docs tell me to install apt from Fedora project. Well I am using yum so I ignore that. Next step is to run: perl -MCPAN -e -shell and I get the error: Unrecognized character \xE2 at -e line 1. And I do not know where to go from here. I am not left at the cpan prompt as the docs say I should be... Anyone out there that can help? Or does anyone know of another really neat SAMBA/LDAP setup script? Or do I need to switch to K12LTSP? Barrs Law of Recursive futility If you're smart enough to use one of these.... .....you can probably manage without one!
