You can then use the rpm relocate feature to install the distro version of samba into prefix /usr/samba and provide a second 'alternative' for the distro version of samba. -Ross > -----Original Message----- > From: "Jason Pyeron" <jpyeron@xxxxxxxx> > > Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2007 21:49:42 > To:"'CentOS mailing list'" <centos@xxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Downgrade samba? > > > > > After reading > http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2003-November/001828.html > what would the best approach for downgrading > samba-3.0.10-1.4E.12.2 to 2.7 > on centos4, then later upgrading back to current? > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > - - > - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - > - Sr. Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - > - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - > - - > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > > This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain > privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.
