Hi,

As far as I know SAMBA doesn't come as a SW depot package. Just unzip, untar and start using it. Following links might be useful for you,

Hi,

I would suggest downloading directly from HP in depot format.

Samba Server:

Samba Client:

Hi,

If you are looking for HP version of SAMBA (CIFS) you can download the same from,

http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B8725AA

You can install this using swinstall as it is a depot package.

Why use HP depots instead of tar files with source code?

Because HP took the time to test things out and change the source code to prior to releaseing the depots.

I have heard of no problems with these depots. I use them on five servers. 2 11, 3 11.11
