Upgrade to Samba3x versus Red Hat Linux 4
Hi,
I have upgraded my samba3 version to samba3x on my Red Hat Linux 5 servers. All fine. This was needed because of an upgrade of Active directory not supporting anymore the usual samba3. So far, so good.
But what about samba on my remaining Red Hat 4 servers ? I have searched on RHN for samba3x 32 bit but i only get versions of the needed samba3x packages for Red Hat 5 ?
Does this mean I have no other choice than upgrading my Red Hat 4 servers (32 bit) to Red Hat 5 (64 bit) ?
Regards,
Johan

Because of issues such as this (and the Samba3/3x issues supporting large/complex AD forrests), we opted to use LikeWise Open. It's free, more capable than Samba3/3x and is configurationally identical across all supported platforms (RHEL 4 & 5, Solaris, Macintosh, etc.). If you use automated software provisioning like we do, you only have to maintain one set of installpackages, config scripts, etc. - which is a real lifesaver in a large environment.
