SolutionInstall new cifs and then put smb.conf file in place and start the samba.
New cifs put everything in /opt/samba
To start samba
/opt/samba/bin/startsmb
to stop
/opt/samba/bin/stopsmb
Vi the startup script if you want any log file addedd or your smb.comf file location is different.
/sbin/init.d/samba

Re: Samba (CIFS) Upgrade
I upgraded from open source samba to CIFS (Hp's Samba) and just copied over smb.conf file in appropriate place.

Re: Samba (CIFS) Upgrade
NOTE: Previous CIFS Server versions used 8 files for internal use.
CIFS/9000 Server, version A.01.08, utilizes system resources differently
from previous versions. The following HP-UX kernel parameters must be
adjusted accordingly:
??? NFILES - total number of open files per system
Each smbd process will initially open 23 files for internal use.
However, clients will open more files during a session. Therefore, as a
minimum, the number of nfiles should be:
nfiles = (23 + max_client_files) * max_connected_clients

Re: Samba (CIFS) Upgrade
It's always wise to make a copy of /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf and the /var/opt/samba/private/smbpasswd (if you use it) before upgrading. However I've recently upgraded a number of servers to CIFS A.01.09.04 due to the recent security alerts, and each time these files were not overwritten.
If you don't manually stop CIFS before upgrading then swinstall will show some warnings in the analysis phase - but will shut down CIFS. Remember to start CIFS again after the upgrade.
regards,
Darren.
