Hello,

1.) download the latest versions:

CIFS Client:

http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B8724AA

CIFS Server:

http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B8725AA

The installation instructions are included on the download page.

2.) Backup your old config files, they are located in /etc/opt/samba

3.) Using the commands in the installation instructions, update the current versions. For example:

$ swinstall -s /tmp/B8725AA_11.nn.depot B8725AA

This will also copy new config files to /opt/samba/newconfig/etc/

4.) If needed, configure samba again (either directly in smb.conf or using the swat interface)
