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. |
