Because of this the man pages + are now available in both traditional man page format (in + the doc/manpages directory) and in HTML format (in the + docs/htmldocs directory). + + The text documentation files have been moved into a + docs/textdocs directory and are in the (slow) process + of being converted to YODL source format to allow them + to be easily converted to HTML/SGML. + + Note in particular two files - docs/textdocs/<your OS>_INSTALL.txt + and docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt. + + There is the potential for there to be many *INSTALL.txt files, one + for each OS that Samba supports. However we are moving all this into + the new structure. For now, most people will be using UNIX_INSTALL.txt. + + Please pay close attention to all the files with a .txt extension + in the docs/textdocs directory. Most problems can be solved by reference + to the two files mentioned. + + The FAQ documentation can be accessed starting from Samba-meta-FAQ.html, + in the docs/faq directory. This is incomplete, but to quote from the + abstract, it: + + "contains overview information for the Samba suite of programs, + a quick-start guide, and pointers to all other Samba documentation. + Other FAQs exist for specific client and server issues, and HOWTO + documents for more extended topics to do with Samba software." + + +examples (Example configuration files): +-------- ------------------------------ + + Please pay close attention to the reference smb.conf file + smb.conf.default that has now been included as the master guide. + + Do read the smb.conf manual page in considering what settings are + appropriate for your site. + + +packaging (Only for those wishing to build binary distributions): +--------- ------------------------------------------------------- + + Currently support is included for the following Linux Distributions : + + Pacfic HiTech, RedHat and SuSE. + + In addition, packaging support is available for SGI and Solaris systems. + We hope that other Unix OS vendors will contribute their binary + distribution packaging control files - and we hope to make their binary + packages available on the master ftp site under: + + ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/"OS_Vendor" + + +source (The official Samba source files - expect more of these!): +------ ---------------------------------------------------------- + + To build your own binary files you will need a suitable ansi C + compiler. + + For Samba 2.0 the GNU autoconf system has been adopted. In + order to build a default Samba for your platform cd into + the source/ directory and then type : + + ./configure + + followed by : + + make + + To install the binaries built by the above type : + + make install + + then set up your configuration files. + + NOTE: OS Vendors who provide Samba binary packages will generally + integrate all Samba files into their preferred directory locations. + These may differ from the default location ALWAYS used by the Samba + sources. Please be careful when upgrading a vendor provided binary + distribution from files you have built yourself. + |
