Customer Environment Changes                                                    
============================                                                    
                                                                                
Migrating to Samba-3.0.22                                                       
-------------------------                                                       
                                                                                
There is no change in installation layout for the users of Samba-2.2.8a. The    
installation procedure for Samba-3.0.22 is exacltly similar to that of          
Samba-2.2.8a.                                                                   
                                                                                
But users of Samba 2.0.7 need to be aware of the following issues before        
installing Samba 3.0.22.  For complete information about Samba 3.0.22,          
please see http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/samba/ (or                           
/usr/local/samba/ReadME.mpe after this patch has been installed). Users of 2.0  
are strongly recommended to go through the /usr/local/samba/ReadME.mpe.228a     
installed with this patch.                                                      
                                                                                
Streamlined Installation Layout (Some Files Have Moved)                         
-------------------------------------------------------                         
Versions prior to 2.2.8a of Samba installed a few files into the SAMBA.SYS      
group and the remaining files into the SAMBA account.  Starting with            
Samba 2.2.8a, all files are now installed into the SAMBA account in a           
version-specific group, i.e. SMB228A.SAMB for Samba-2.2.8a, SMB3022.SAMBA       
for Samba-3.0.22.  The installation script for Samba-2.2.8a onwards does not    
modify any of the old Samba files in the SAMBA.SYS group.                       
                                                                                
The Samba 3.0.22 installation script modifies the /usr/local/samba              
symbolic link to point to the new /SAMBA/SMB3022 file location.  A new          
symbolic link of /SAMBA/CURRENT is created to point to the same location.       
                                                                                
If you have any jobs or UDCs or command files etc that refer to the old         
SAMBA.SYS files, you will need to modify these old references to point          
to the new file locations.  You should use either of the symbolic links         
to do this.  I.e. instead of SMBD.SAMBA.SYS, you can refer to                   
SMBD.CURRENT.SAMBA or /usr/local/samba/SMBD or /SAMBA/CURRENT/SMBD.             
                                                                                
Configuration Files are Compatible                                              
----------------------------------                                              
However the old configuration files are compatible but many of the options are  
either removed or changed.                                                      
                                                                                
In order to take full advantage of the new 3.0.22 functionality, it is          
recommended that you use /usr/local/samba/lib/samp-smb.conf as a                
template for creating a new smb.conf file.                                      
                                                                                
Migrating Back to Samba 2.0.7                                                   
-----------------------------                                                   
                                                                                
If after installing Samba 3.0.22 you decide that you want to migrate            
back to Samba 2.0.7, perform the following steps:

2. :PURGELINK /usr/local/samba                                                  
3. :NEWLINK /usr/local/samba,/SAMBA/SMB207                                      
4. :ALTUSER MGR.SAMBA;CAP=+PM (if you were previously using Samba 2.0.7         
   in full power mode)
