7 Samba is developed in an open environment. Developers use a
8 Subversion to
“<span class=
"quote">checkin
</span>” (also known as
9 “<span class=
"quote">commit
</span>”) new source code. Samba's various Subversion branches can
10 be accessed via anonymous Subversion using the instructions
11 detailed in this chapter.
13 This chapter is a modified version of the instructions found at the

16 The machine samba.org runs a publicly accessible Subversion
17 repository for access to the source code of several packages,
18 including Samba, rsync, distcc, ccache, and jitterbug. There are two main ways
19 of accessing the Subversion server on this host.

21 <a class=

22 You can access the source code via your favorite WWW browser. This allows you to access
23 the contents of individual files in the repository and also to look at the revision
24 history and commit logs of individual files. You can also ask for a diff
25 listing between any two versions on the repository.

31 You can also access the source code via a normal Subversion client. This gives you much more control over what
32 you can do with the repository and allows you to check out whole source trees and keep them up to date via
33 normal Subversion commands. This is the preferred method of access if you are a developer and not just a

39 To gain access via anonymous Subversion, use the following steps.

41 Install a recent copy of Subversion. All you really need is a
42 copy of the Subversion client binary.
45 </p><pre class=
"screen">
46 <strong class=
"userinput"><code>svn co svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/trunk samba
</code></strong>.
49 This will create a directory called
<code class=
"filename">samba
</code> containing the
50 latest Samba source code (usually the branch that is going to be the next major release). This
51 currently corresponds to the
3.1 development tree.
53 Subversion branches other then trunk can be obtained by adding branches/BRANCH_NAME to the URL you check
54 out. A list of branch names can be found on the
“<span class=
"quote">Development
</span>” page of the Samba Web site. A
55 common request is to obtain the latest
3.0 release code. This could be done by using the following command:
56 </p><pre class=

57 <strong class=
"userinput"><code>svn co svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_3_0 samba_3

71 than ftp, because rsync is capable of compressing data streams, but it is also more useful than FTP because
72 during a partial update it will transfer only the data that is missing plus a small overhead. See
<a class=

74 The disadvantage of the unpacked trees is that they do not support automatic

80 It is strongly recommended that you verify the PGP signature for any source file before
81 installing it. Even if you're not downloading from a mirror site, verifying PGP signatures
82 should be a standard reflex. Many people today use the GNU GPG tool set in place of PGP.
83 GPG can substitute for PGP.
85 With that said, go ahead and download the following files:
86 </p><pre class=
"screen">
87 <code class=
"prompt">$
</code><strong class=
"userinput"><code>wget http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-

</code><strong class=
"userinput"><code>wget http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-pubkey.asc
</code></strong>
90 <a class=
"indexterm" name=
"id2687908"></a>
91 The first file is the PGP signature for the Samba source file; the other is the Samba public
92 PGP key itself. Import the public PGP key with:
93 </p><pre class=
"screen">
94 <code class=
"prompt">$
</code><strong class=
"userinput"><code>gpg --import samba-pubkey.asc
</code></strong>
96 and verify the Samba source code integrity with:
97 </p><pre class=
"screen">
98 <code class=
"prompt">$
</code><strong class=
"userinput"><code>gzip -d samba-
3.0.20.tar.gz

</code><strong class=

</code></strong>
102 If you receive a message like,
“<span class=
"quote">Good signature from Samba Distribution Verification Key...,
</span>”
103 then all is well. The warnings about trust relationships can be ignored. An
104 example of what you would not want to see would be:

111 After the source tarball has been unpacked, the next step involves
112 configuration to match Samba to your operating system platform.
113 If your source directory does not contain the
<code class=
"literal">configure
</code> script,
114 it is necessary to build it before you can continue. Building of
115 the configure script requires the correct version of the autoconf
116 tool kit. Where the necessary version of autoconf is present,
117 the configure script can be generated by executing the following:
118 </p><pre class=
"screen">
119 <code class=
"prompt">root#
</code> cd samba-
3.0.20/source
120 <code class=
"prompt">root#
</code> ./autogen.sh
123 <a class=
"indexterm" name=
"id2688040"></a>
124 To build the binaries, run the program
<strong class=
"userinput"><code>./configure
125 </code></strong> in the source directory. This should automatically
126 configure Samba for your operating system. If you have unusual
127 needs, then you may wish to first run:
128 </p><pre class=
"screen">
129 <code class=
"prompt">root#
</code><strong class=
"userinput"><code>./configure --help
</code></strong>
132 This will help you to see what special options can be enabled. Now execute
133 <strong class=
"userinput"><code>./configure
</code></strong> with any arguments it might need:
134 </p><pre class=
"screen">
135 <code class=
"prompt">root#
</code><strong class=
"userinput"><code>./configure
<em class=
"replaceable"><code>[... arguments ...]
</code></em></code></strong>
138 <a class=
"indexterm" name=
"id2688105"></a>
139 Execute the following create the binaries:
140 </p><pre class=
"screen">
141 <code class=
"prompt">root#
</code> <strong class=
"userinput"><code>make
</code></strong>
143 Once it is successfully compiled, you can execute the command shown here to
144 install the binaries and manual pages:
145 </p><pre class=
"screen">
146 <code class=
"prompt">root#
</code> <strong class=
"userinput"><code>make install
</code></strong>
149 Some people prefer to install binary files and man pages separately. If this is
150 your wish, the binary files can be installed by executing:
151 </p><pre class=
"screen">
152 <code class=
"prompt">root#
</code> <strong class=
"userinput"><code>make installbin
</code></strong>
154 The man pages can be installed using this command:
155 </p><pre class=
"screen">
156 <code class=
"prompt">root#
</code> <strong class=
"userinput"><code>make installman
</code></strong>
159 Note that if you are upgrading from a previous version of Samba the old
160 versions of the binaries will be renamed with an
“<span class=
"quote">.old
</span>” extension.
161 You can go back to the previous version by executing:
162 </p><pre class=
"screen">
163 <code class=

282 Red Hat Linux has not always included all Samba components in the standard installation.
283 So versions of Red Hat Linux do not install the winbind utility, even though it is present
284 on the installation CDROM media. Check to see if the
<code class=

</code> is present
286 </p><pre class=

287 <code class=

291 that it is not installed:
292 </p><pre class=
"screen">
293 /bin/ls: /usr/sbin/winbind: No such file or directory
295 In this case, it should be installed if you intend to use
<code class=

296 the CDROM installation media for the samba-winbind RPM and install it following Red Hat
299 The process for starting Samba will now be outlined. Be sure to configure Samba's
<code class=
"filename">smb.conf
</code>
300 file before starting Samba. When configured, start Samba by executing:
301 </p><pre class=
"screen">
302 <code class=
"prompt">root#
</code> service smb start
303 <code class=
"prompt">root#

305 These steps will start
<span class=
"application">nmbd
</span>,
<span class=
"application">smbd
</span> and
<span class=
"application">winbindd
</span>.
307 To ensure that these services will be automatically restarted when the system is rebooted

310 <code class=
"prompt">root#
</code> chkconfig smb on
311 <code class=
