Firstly I am new to this list but have used samba for years on various flavours of redhat with great results until now.
I have recently upgraded my mini-itx v8000 from redhat 9 to fedora core 2. Samba is fine except there now appears to be no smbmount / unable to mount with fstab type of smbfs to mount the windows shares.
Looking at the version the fedora distribution installed (3.0.3-5) I thought I would upgrade to samba 3.0.4-2. Which I downloaded the source built the rpm and then tried to install and got various dependency errors all seemed to be telling me that I dont have samba 3.0.3, looked for various binaries / source for the straight 3.0.3 and cant find anything.
I then decided to try the 3.0.4-1.i386.rpm and got the following error
/etc/security/selinux/file_contexts: No such file or directory [I guess this isnt a real problem]
error: Failed dependencies:
libcom_err.so.3 is needed by samba-3.0.4-1
samba-common >= 3.0.0 is needed by (installed) gnome-vfs2-smb-2.6.0-8
any ideas please as I dont normally get errors like this from distributions !!!
Any help appreciated, I have posted on the fedora mailing list also but to no avail.
Cheers

Subject: Help needed - Cant Upgrade from Samba 3.0.3-5
Firstly apologies but I am new to this list, is there a way to browse all the old mails???Now my problem - I upgraded from redhat 9.0 to Fedora 2 running on a mini-itx v8000 board. Now I had to use the additional iso image to due to the reboot bug but Samba now doesnt appear to have a smbmount command and no mount.smbfs in /sbin. Therefore I cant mount my windows shares any more.When I try to upgrade to samba-3.0.4-2.src.rpm it keeps telling me that it failed dependencies that it needs 3.0.3 well I can find the 3.0.3-1 version but not 3.0.3 exactly to use for the upgrade first???What am I doing wrong ???Thanks for any help in advance.Paul Farrow
