samba 2.2.6 to 3.0.5

[Jeffrey F. Goldsmith]

How do I go about uninstalling samba 2.2.6 so I can install samba 3.0.5? My OS is HP-UX 11.i on my server.

If you installed binaries yourself, go ahead and rm them.

If you had the depots in do this:

swlist -l | product | grep -i CIFS

Get the exact name of the CIFS/9000(Samba) product and put it in the next command.

swremove

Then get the technology preview version from software.hp.com and swinstall -s /full_path_of_depot.

If you're compiling yourself, good luck there is a file with the release named INSTALL with the tarball.

Steven,

I did an swremove of samba 2.2.6 and then did an swinstall of samba 3.0.5 on my server. After I started samba I checked the version and it still reports that it is samba 2.2.6.
What am I doing wrong? I even rebooted my server but it still shows up as samba 2.2.6 when I check the version.

I assume that this is the CIFS Server Technology Preview. Is that correct? If so, there are some problems with the installation scripts. Check your swinstall log and make sure that the install completed without errors. If it had errors, then run the swinstall again and use options to bascially allow version incompatibility, script failures - everything bad. You will also need to have LDAP-UX and the HP-UX Kerberos client installed to pass the dependencies.

I ended up manually removing all the samba files from my server. Then I downloaded the CIFSTP3 file from the software.hp.com website. Once I had the file downloaded I did a swinstall and went thru the setup steps.
Now when I check the software I find that samba 3.0.5 is installed and ready to work.

Thanks for all the help.

With your help I was able to find and install the proper files.
