Directory Notes:
|
|
========= ======
|
|
docs (Samba Documentation):
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Samba documentation for 1.9.17 has had some of its content
|
|
updated and a new structure has been put in place. However, since
|
|
this is all rather new the documentation format of previous
|
|
versions will remain in place.
|
|
|
|
Note in particular two files - <your OS>_INSTALL.txt and DIAGNOSIS.txt
|
|
There is the potential for there to be many *INSTALL.txt files, one
|
|
for each OS that Samba supports. However we are moving all this into
|
|
the new structure. For now, most people will be using UNIX_INSTALL.txt.
|
|
|
|
You pay close attention to all the files with a
|
|
.txt extension. Most problems can be solved by reference to the
|
|
two files mentioned.
|
|
|
|
The new documentation can be accessed starting from Samba-meta-FAQ.html,
|
|
in the docs/faq directory. This is incomplete, but to quote from the
|
|
abstract, it:
|
|
|
|
"contains overview information for the Samba suite of programs,
|
|
a quick-start guide, and pointers to all other Samba documentation.
|
|
Other FAQs exist for specific client and server issues, and HOWTO
|
|
documents for more extended topics to do with Samba software."
|
|
|
|
|
|
examples (Example configuration files):
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
Please pay close attention to the reference smb.conf file
|
|
smb.conf.default that has now been included as the master guide.
|
|
|
|
Do read the smb.conf manual page in considering what settings are
|
|
appropriate for your site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
packaging (Only for those wishing to build binary distributions):
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Currently support is included only for RedHat Linux. We hope that
|
|
other Unix OS vendors will contribute their binary distribution
|
|
packaging control files - and we hope to make their binary packages
|
|
available on the master ftp site under:
|
|
samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/"OS_Vendor"
|
|
|
|
|
|
source (The official Samba source files - expect more of these!):
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
To build your own binary files you will need a suitable ansi C
|
|
compiler. Also, you must edit the enclosed "Makefile" as required
|
|
for your operating system platform. Then just run:
|
|
a) make
|
|
b) make install
|
|
then
|
|
c) set up your configuration files.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: OS Vendors who provide Samba binary packages will generally
|
|
integrate all Samba files into their preferred directory locations.
|
|
These may differ from the default location ALWAYS used by the Samba
|
|
sources. Please be careful when upgrading a vendor provided binary
|
|
distribution from files you have built yourself.
