I'd like to change from Samba 3.0.33 to 3.6.6. Reason: WINDOWS 7 and PDC

Is something to consider when changing (config-Files or so on)? Have I to uninstall Samba 3.0.33 before or just run an update?

Should I upgrade Samba 3.6 to Samba 4.1

I just installed Samba on my Centos 6.4 computer. Smbstatus says my version is 3.6.9-151.el6-4.1.

My smb.conf file only has a [global] and [homes] section.

My configuration works, as expected, from a Win7 Virtual Box computer and a Win8 Virtual Box computer. I can see the share from the Windows file explorer and can map the share to a network drive. The Samba server is not virtual.

The problem is my other Win7 laptop which is running some sort of home edition of Win7. I did everything I could in control panel to enable file sharing but I still can't see the Samba share. I can ping the computer running Samba? I tried to launch "gpedit.msc" but this program was not there.

Do you think it would work if I upgraded Samba to the latest version 4.1? Should I consider upgrading to Win7 professional?

How do I set permissions on a samba connection (using Linux)

I have an existing system which contains a LAN connected disk drive. I have added a new computer on which I installed Ubuntu (this is my first linux experience). From the Ubuntu computer I can read the files on the samba connected drive but I can not write to those files. I have tried to change the permissions but can not locate where the drive is mounted. So my question ishow do I change the permissions?

centos 6.4 samba password sync problem

I have a problem with unix-samba password sync. It just doesnt work, when i use smbpasswd it changes only samba password, and not the unix password. In logs i cant find any error about passwd. Samba ver is 3.6.9-151.

[global]

security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New password* %nn *new password* %nn *success*
debug level = 100
passwd chat debug = yes
