Ideally you will need a latest version of SAMBA which has better/improved windbind support. Then you need to go away and read all the documentation.
I looked at the site today. As I understand it 3 (alpha) is the one to use for AD but I could only see versions for suse 8.2 and I am wanting to run 9. We run a network mixed with (among others) NT so I think version 2.whatever should be ok for this.
AFAIUI, Darren, the tree is the same in 9.0 as 8.2. It began being "standardised" with the release of 8.0. I don't know about the libraries though. Case of suck it and see what dependancies pop up. Get the rpm and -Uvh it, if all else fails you can get rid by rpm -e. Make sure that you've got a back of the rpm dbase first though. The default number of backups taken is set ro 5 in rc.config (use YAST2, system settings) and change it to a bigger number; I set mine to 15; and I don't have my rpm backups on /var either, change it to a directory where you know that it will be "reasonably" safe: /home/rpm_backups perhaps?). You can delete through your old samba using YAST2, save your config files first though, install smaba 3; if ti works, great, if it doesn't, kill it and then restore your old samab and config files. `p --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
