I'm looking for information about updating the installed Samba version on a 10.3.8 server. Can it be done? Can it be done easily? What things are likely to break if I try to build the latest version of Samba (currently 3.0.11) to replace the 3.0.5 that ships with Mac OS X Server?
I have given this one shot at downloading the latest Samba tar and attempting to compile. I was on a 10.3.8 client rather than server and I received some errors that wouldn't let the build complete. At this point, I just wanted to get my feet wet with the whole configure/make process, I didn't really want an updated Samba on the client, so I'm not even going to try to troubleshoot that. But, I'm installing a clean Mac OS X Server for this update experiment.
Most of the articles I've found on the web are out of date, like this one: http://www.opendarwin.org/en/articles/osx_smb/ar01s03.html#serv-getsamba
Any fresh information would be greatly appreciated.
