First; the links (RPM, PDF and HTML) below the manual titles are for
downloading the various manuals in the package forms. It's a good idea to
download at least the first three of them. I would suggest the PDF version
so you can read them in either Windows or Linux.

Second; RPM == [R]ed Hat [P]ackage [M]anager you can find the gu
ide to RPM
at; http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/

Third; Red Hat Linux 9 is old and is no longer supported by Red Hat, the
product reached End of Life on April 30, 2004

Fourth; To install samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0.i386.rpm the Samba Server.

The package is located on the CD media you have, I don't remember which
one sorry. Mount each CD and browse it until you find the package you
want. Then either click or double-click on the package (depending how your
setup) to install it. But before you do this, may I suggest that you;

Install apt(direct link to the package);
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/re...>
h90.i386.rpm

Fast (DSL line) from the console or xterm session as root type;

rpm -ivh <type the link above here>

Slow (dial-up) from the console or xterm session as root type;

wget <type the link above here>
rpm -ivh apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm

Do the same with synaptic (the GUI interface to apt);
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/download...3.rh90.i386.rpm

Then visit; http://fedoralegacy.org/

This way you can bring your Red Hat Linux 9 current (install the latest
upgrades, addons and patches). Take the time and follow the Download link
for instructions. And please do not forget to read;
http://fedoralegacy.org/docs/apt-rh9.php

With synaptic open (and apt configured) all you do is select the
package(s) you want to install and click on the appropriate buttons to
download and install them.

Lastly; Please consider upgrading to Fedora Core 1, 2 or 3 all are still
supported. Fedora Core 2 or 3 are still actively supported, Fedora Core 1
recently became legacy (still support at the link already provided above).

Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm using realtime (RT) Linux and the kernel build
instructions for it are centered around RH 9.0, so I have a peculair breed o
f Linux.
What is apt? Are the instructions you provided for an upgrade to RH 9.0 or t
o replace
it with Fedora? Is Fedora available on CD?

I managed to push further ahead with my "discovery" trail blazing of Samba, 
and found
from mounting the first install CD that I had selected Samba for the initial
 build.
However, when I tried man samba and man smb, I got nothing. I found smb.conf
 and
modified it--only the workgroup, so it seems as some components of it are th
ere. I
tried testparam and some other related commands and they were there. However
, the smb
command to start Samba wasn't to be found. I also found some net controller 
app off
the main menu and set my ip address to 192.168.0.1. The 192.168.0 portion I 
use for
the other machines on the network. When I rebooted, Linux complained about n
ot being
able to access something related to the network but gave me the choice to co
ntinue,
which I did. Actually, I'm attempting this so that I can use NTP. The Linux 
app I'm
running needs an accurate clock. Updating the clock from elsewhere on the ne
twork
once a day is sufficient to keep the app happy.

Apt is a improved package manager. The instructions I provide are to
install apt and maybe synaptic, then update RHL9 to the currently
available updates to RHL9. Fedora is available on CD, you can download
them or purchase them;

If all you need is to keep accurate time then you don't need samba. If you
have a time server already available then configure the ntpd daemon to use
the time server, see 'man ntpd' without the quotes for the details.

Samba is used to share files between Windows and Linux mainly. The Samba
server is to share files from Linux to Windows, the client is used to
connect to the Windows shares. To start smb (assuming samba server is
installed and configured) as root type from the console or xterm session
something like; service smb start

For a good HOWTO on smb visit; http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html

Visit; http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Users/WebHome If your RHL9 system has
direct access to the Internet use a time server close to your location.
I'm fairly close to Purdue so I use the time service they have available.
I just added Purdue's sever (tick.cerias.purdue.edu) to my /etc/ntp.conf
file, or for example to manually adjust your clock you can simply type
something like; sudo /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u 128.10.252.7 ;see both 'man
sudo' and 'man ntpdate' for the details

Example;
$ sudo /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u 128.10.252.7

/sbin/ntpdate -u 128.10.252.7

Thanks for the info. It sounds like you are saying that going to Fedora shou

I could manually update it daily as you suggest, but the Linux computer is i

I do suggest that if possible that you do in fact update to Fedora Core 2.
If the people who wrote the application agree, then follow their advice.
If not then, ask them to assist you in upgrading the RHL9 packages, you
might want to direct them to this newsgroup thread. The replies I have
posted are instructions to update RHL9 to the latest available upgrades to
the packages already installed on your RHL9 system. I have provided
(hopefully), in this reply, a more detailed set of instructions below that
should update your RHL9 system with all the upgrades available for RHL9.

The two packages apt and synaptic are related, synaptic is the GUI
interface to apt;

DESCRIPTION
apt-get  is  the  command-line  tool for handling packages, and may
be considered the user's "back-end" to other tools using the APT
library. Several  "front-end"  interfaces  exist, such as
dselect(8), aptitude, synaptic, gnome-apt and wajig.

Which is why you make use of ntpd or at the very least use a cron job once
a day to adjust the time using ntpdate.

Sample job (place in /etc/cron.daily) filename net-time;

#!/bin/bash
# Adjust the system time
/usr/sbin/ntpdate -u 128.10.252.7
exit 0

Then set the permissions;
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   81 Nov 21 15:37 net-time

Adjust the command (change the IP address) to use a time server of your
choice. For example lets say you have another system someplace that serves
time to other Windows systems and this server's IP address is 192.168.0.1,
then the ntpdate line would read;

/usr/bin/ntpdate -u 192.168.0.1

OK, first find out which samba packages you have installed;

rpm -qa '*samba*'

Sample output (yours will be different);

samba-client-3.0.9-1
samba-3.0.9-1
samba-swat-3.0.9-1
system-config-samba-1.2.21-1
samba-common-3.0.9-1

You should see redhat-config-samba instead of system-config-smaba. And if
I remember correctly with RHL9 the samba-swat RPM is not installed by
default.

You still can bring your RHL9 system current (all the updates for RHL9) by
following these instructions as root from the console or xterm session,
assuming you have a working Internet connection;

This command will download and install the apt RPM package;

rpm -ivh
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/re...>
h90.i386.rpm

The above line is one long line with a space after the '-ivh' portion and
before the rest of the command. By downloading and installing this package
the apt-get /etc/apt/sources.list file is already configured to use the
fedora.us RHL9 site to get the updated packages.

This command will updated the apt package index files list ( to the latest
RHL9 updates);

apt-get update

This command will update your install RPM packages to the latest ones
available for RHL9;

apt-get upgrade

If you still need to install samba-swat after installing the other RHL9
updates;

apt-get install samba-swat

If you want to install/use the synaptic (a graphical interface to apt-get)
package;

apt-get install synaptic

I found the RH9 rpm file earlier today from the RH site and downloaded it. 1
10
minutes, 22M.

I do not have a modem connected to Linux. I downloaded from my XP machine, a
nd carry
the file over to Linux with a zip disk.

rpm -aq ... gives:
samba-client-2.2.7a-6
samba-common-2.2.7a-6

Looks like some things are missing.

As I understand it, as root, I simply execute rpm -ivh my-samba-download-fil
e.rpm.
I'm holding off awhile before attempting it. I'll give you time to respond.

What file did you download? The RHL9 original source RPM is;

Hmmm.... old rawhide version maybe????  I Recommend that you install/use;

samba-2.2.12-0.90.2.legacy.i386.rpm          14-Oct-2004 17:42  3.0M
samba-client-2.2.12-0.90.2.legacy.i386.rpm   14-Oct-2004 17:42  2.1M
samba-common-2.2.12-0.90.2.legacy.i386.rpm   14-Oct-2004 17:42  2.1M
samba-swat-2.2.12-0.90.2.legacy.i386.rpm     14-Oct-2004 17:42  1.9M

These are the latest available binary samba rpm's, they are newer then the
ones available from Red Hat for RHL9

Available at; http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/9/updates/i386/

Just have all four in a common location and as root from where they reside
type 'rpm -Uvh samba*.rpm' without the quotes. This will install all four
at the same time. It will upgrade and replace the two older also.

The latest Red Hat released updates (all of them) for Red Hat Linux 9 are
available here; ftp://updates.redhat.com/9/en/os/i386/

Actually this is the better choice, I didn't know samba-3.0.9 was released
for Red Hat Linux 9. Install this instead of the samba rpm's I suggested.
It's the entire samba package; the server, the client, the common files
and swat everything in one package --- good choice. As per your earlier
posting, yes you can install it as root with;

rpm -Uvh samba-3.0.9-1.rh9.i386.rpm

This will (should) remove the old 2.2.7a-6 samba-client and samba-common
packages and install everything needed to configure samba to work both as
a server and client in RHL9.

Hopefully, you get this message before you waste to much time downloading
the older samba binaries. It's still a good idea to at least review all
the RHL9 updates available.
