Samba 3.4 on Centos 5.3

[Niklas Saers-2]

Dear Sirs,

I'm running a vanilla CentOS 5.3 server, and yum there has Samba  
3.0.33. What's the recommended way to install Samba 3.4 as an upgrade  
over 3.0.33? Just ./configure && make && sudo make install ?

Cheers

In my humble opinion it's wise to choose the package from your
distribution.

Unless you have the time to maintain/upgrade it yourself.
They are in the repo because they are stable (That's how it works in
debian anyways).
And i do believe CentOS takes care of security patches.

With regards,
Kasper

I would, but I need functionality that was introduced with Samba 3.2,  
and since the only package I can find is 3.0.33, that's not an option.  
Are there other package-repositories than the default I can use that  
perhaps have a newer version of Samba?

There have been many Samba releases since 3.0.33, I should expect they  
are stable? :-)

It is recommended to use rpm packages, since Centos only provides very
old version, many people are using samba from sernet repository:

ftp://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/experimental/centos/5/

Sernet samba usually works fine, but ..

The default setting for LDAP StartTLS changed between those versions,
watch out for that.  Also, if you communicate with an AD, you will need
to configure your /etc/krb5.conf file with the newer one.

I've been running SerNet Samba for about a year, with excellent results.
It is a Repo, so when you "yum update" it will update your samba as
well.  be sure to select the appropriate package level ("experimental",
"recent", or "tested") for your environment.
