" I offered him space last night an have not heard back from him yet to " offer " some of them from my server at home. i have dsl with 128k upload with " about " 6 gigs or so of space to use.

From all the " answers I " have gotten from this list i would consider it a nice contribution " back to " the list. " Thanks, from me, for your offer. I am sure that it will be of benefit to many SuSE users.

Have you found a mirror?

You can thank Jack Malone for providing the web space. Check out my web site at http://home.earthlink.net/~noodlez84/rpm_packages.html and _use an FTP client_ to download it. For some reason, it doesn't work through web browsers... -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0

I have looked at your web-site. The page say's, that the samba 2.2.2-rpm is tested with SuSE 7.2.

I have made a fast and very little tested upgrade to SuSE 7.3. I noticed, that smb.conf and smbpasswd is moved fra /etc/ to /etc/samba/.

Do we need a special rpm for SuSE 7.3?

I think the /ect/samba is the default for the newer samba releases now. been that way when i upgraded to 2.2.2.1a also. jack Jack Malone jack@malone.tyler.com http://www.ballistic.com/~jemalone Luke 4:18-19 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
