|---|
| 10 |  | 
|---|
| 11 | All the Samba documentation for the 3.0 release have been converted to | 
|---|
| 12 | docbook format. Because of this the man pages are now available | 
|---|
| 13 | in both traditional man page format (in the docs/manpages directory) | 
|---|
| 14 | and in HTML format (in the docs/htmldocs directory). | 
|---|
| 15 |  | 
|---|
| 16 | The Samba HOWTO Collection has undergone some rather large changes | 
|---|
| 17 | and covers all parts of configuration now. It is available | 
|---|
| 18 | as PDF (docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf) or in HTML format (in | 
|---|
| 19 | the docs/htmldocs directory). Those with the docbook utilities installed | 
|---|
| 20 | can generate PostScript and text versions of the HOWTO as well. | 
|---|
| 21 |  | 
|---|
| 22 | The Samba FAQ is still a work in progress, but can be found in | 
|---|
| 23 | HTML format in docs/htmldocs. |

| 29 | Please pay close attention to the reference smb.conf file | 
|---|
| 30 | smb.conf.default that has now been included as the master guide. | 
|---|
| 31 |  | 
|---|
| 32 | Do read the smb.conf manual page in considering what settings are | 
|---|
| 33 | appropriate for your site. |

| 36 | packaging       (Only for those wishing to build binary distributions): | 
|---|
| 37 | ---------       ------------------------------------------------------- | 
|---|
| 38 |  | 
|---|
| 39 | Currently support is included for the following Linux Distributions : | 
|---|
| 40 |  | 
|---|
| 41 | RedHat and SuSE. | 
|---|
| 42 |  | 
|---|
| 43 | In addition, packaging support is available for SGI and Solaris systems. | 
|---|
| 44 | We hope that other Unix OS vendors will contribute their binary | 
|---|
| 45 | distribution packaging control files - and we hope to make their binary | 
|---|
| 46 | packages available on the master ftp site under: | 
|---|
| 47 |  | 
|---|
| 48 | ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/"OS_Vendor" |

| 51 | source          (The official Samba source files - expect more of these!): | 
|---|
| 52 | ------          ---------------------------------------------------------- | 
|---|
| 53 |  | 
|---|
| 54 | To build your own binary files you will need a suitable ansi C | 
|---|
| 55 | compiler. | 
|---|
| 56 |  | 
|---|
| 57 | Samba uses the GNU autoconf system. In | 
|---|
| 58 | order to build a default Samba for your platform cd into | 
|---|
| 59 | the source/ directory and then type : | 
|---|
| 60 |  | 
|---|
| 61 | ./configure | 
|---|
| 62 |  | 
|---|
| 63 | followed by : | 
|---|
| 64 |  | 
|---|
| 65 | make | 
|---|
| 66 |  | 
|---|
| 67 | To install the binaries built by the above type : | 
|---|
| 68 |  | 
|---|
| 69 | make install | 
|---|
| 70 |  | 
|---|
| 71 | then set up your configuration files. | 
|---|
| 72 |  | 
|---|
| 73 | NOTE: OS Vendors who provide Samba binary packages will generally | 
|---|
| 74 | integrate all Samba files into their preferred directory locations. | 
|---|
| 75 | These may differ from the default location ALWAYS used by the Samba | 
|---|
| 76 | sources. Please be careful when upgrading a vendor provided binary | 
|---|
| 77 | distribution from files you have built yourself. |
