|

| 9 | ---- ----------------------
|
|---|
| 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.

| 27 | -------- ------------------------------
|

| 28 |
|

| 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 |
|

|

| 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.
