Copyright (C) 1997-2001 - Samba-Team
The Samba package you have just unpacked contains the following:
Directory Notes:
========= ======
docs (Samba Documentation):
---- ----------------------
The Samba documentation for the 2.2 release has had all the man pages
converted to DocBook v4.1 source format. Because of this the man pages
are now available in both traditional man page format (in
the doc/manpages directory) and in HTML format (in the
docs/htmldocs directory).
The text documentation files have been moved into a
docs/textdocs directory and are in the (slow) process
of being converted to DocBook source format to allow them
to be easily converted to HTML.
Note in particular two files - docs/textdocs/<your OS>_INSTALL.txt
and docs/textdocs/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
htmldocs/UNIX_INSTALL.txt
Please pay close attention to all the files with a .txt extension
in the docs/textdocs directory and the htmldocs/* files. Most problems
can be solved by reference to the two files mentioned.
The FAQ 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 for the following Linux Distributions :
Caldera, RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake, and TurboLinux.
Packaging support for TuboLinux is under ~samba/packaging/PHT - the
previous name of the company was Pacific HiTech, hence the PHT.
In addition, packaging support is available for SGI and Solaris systems.
SCO OpenServer and SCO UnixWare have been acquired by Caldera. We expect
that Caldera will in future integrate Samba into the above operating
systems. UnixWare has been renamed to OpenUnix. Look under the directory
~samba/packaging/Caldera for packaging support for these platforms.
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:
ftp://samba.org/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.
For Samba 2.2 the GNU autoconf system has been adopted. In
order to build a default Samba for your platform cd into
the source/ directory and then type :
./configure
followed by :
make
To install the binaries built by the above type :
make install
then 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.
