1Copyright (C) 1997-2003 - Samba-Team 2 3The Samba package you have just unpacked contains the following: 4 5Directory Notes: 6========= ====== 7 8docs (Samba Documentation): 9---- ---------------------- 10 11 All the Samba documentation for the 3.0 release have been converted to 12 docbook format. Because of this the man pages are now available 13 in both traditional man page format (in the docs/manpages directory) 14 and in HTML format (in the docs/htmldocs directory). 15 16 The Samba HOWTO Collection has undergone some rather large changes 17 and covers all parts of configuration now. It is available 18 as PDF (docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf) or in HTML format (in 19 the docs/htmldocs directory). Those with the docbook utilities installed 20 can generate PostScript and text versions of the HOWTO as well. 21 22 The Samba FAQ is still a work in progress, but can be found in 23 HTML format in docs/htmldocs. 24 25 26examples (Example configuration files): 27-------- ------------------------------ 28 29 Please pay close attention to the reference smb.conf file 30 smb.conf.default that has now been included as the master guide. 31 32 Do read the smb.conf manual page in considering what settings are 33 appropriate for your site. 34 35 36packaging (Only for those wishing to build binary distributions): 37--------- ------------------------------------------------------- 38 39 Currently support is included for the following Linux Distributions : 40 41 RedHat and SuSE. 42 43 In addition, packaging support is available for SGI and Solaris systems. 44 We hope that other Unix OS vendors will contribute their binary 45 distribution packaging control files - and we hope to make their binary 46 packages available on the master ftp site under: 47 48 ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/"OS_Vendor" 49 50 51source (The official Samba source files - expect more of these!): 52------ ---------------------------------------------------------- 53 54 To build your own binary files you will need a suitable ansi C 55 compiler. 56 57 Samba uses the GNU autoconf system. In 58 order to build a default Samba for your platform cd into 59 the source/ directory and then type : 60 61 ./configure 62 63 followed by : 64 65 make 66 67 To install the binaries built by the above type : 68 69 make install 70 71 then set up your configuration files. 72 73 NOTE: OS Vendors who provide Samba binary packages will generally 74 integrate all Samba files into their preferred directory locations. 75 These may differ from the default location ALWAYS used by the Samba 76 sources. Please be careful when upgrading a vendor provided binary 77 distribution from files you have built yourself. 78 79
