Hi guys,
I know just enough about Linux that I can muddle through most sysadmin tasks, but not enough that I'm comfortable doing some things. This is one of them.
We had a security audit and it turned up 2 servers with outdated Samba and it was suggested I upgrade it. Looks like I have the following files already installed:
- samba-client-3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1
- samba-3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1
- samba-common-3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1
- libsmbclient-3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1
I don't have a redhat subscription for this machine, but I have one for another machine and so I downloaded the latest version of those 4 files. My issue is that rpm -Uvh isn't working because of dependencies on the already installed versions:
rpm -Uvh samba-common-3.0.33-3.40.el5_10.x86_64.rpm warning: samba-common-3.0.33-3.40.el5_10.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 37017186 error: Failed dependencies: libsmbclient = 0:3.0.33-3.40.el5_10 is needed by samba-common-3.0.33-3.40.el5_10.x86_64 samba-common = 0:3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1 is needed by (installed) samba-3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1.x86_64 samba-common = 0:3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1 is needed by (installed) samba-client-3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1.x86_64 or
rpm -Uvh libsmbclient-3.0.33-3.40.el5_10.x86_64.rpm warning: libsmbclient-3.0.33-3.40.el5_10.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 37017186 error: Failed dependencies: libsmbclient = 0:3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1 is needed by (installed) samba-common-3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1.x86_64 and so on...It seems like none of the files will update because of already installed versions.
I'm thinking I maybe I can -force -nodeps or something like that. Or just copy smb.conf, uninstall and re-install? I generally just plow through and break it and figure it out, but this is kind of a touchy server so I'd rather not break it and have to fix it if I can help it.
What's the best way for me to proceed? Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit: formatting.
