Overview
When upgrading to Xinet version 2024.1, you may encounter issues with installing the Samba module if old Samba binaries from a previous Xinet preinstall are still present. This can cause compatibility issues, particularly with Samba version 4.20.2 on RHEL 9.5. This article provides steps to resolve these issues by removing outdated binaries and ensuring proper installation of the Samba module.
Information
To resolve issues with installing the Samba module on Xinet version 2024.1, follow these steps:
- Verify Samba Compatibility: Ensure that the installed Samba version is compatible with Xinet 2024.1. If not, consider downgrading to a supported version like 4.18.1.
- Remove Old Samba Binaries: Check for and remove any old Samba binaries from previous Xinet preinstalls. These may be located in directories such as
rh9. - Check Dependencies: Ensure all necessary Samba-related packages are installed, including
samba-client. Verify that thelibndr.so.4library is correctly linked. - Manual Installation: If issues persist, manually install the XinetSMB module that matches the installed Samba version. This may involve unpacking the module and running the install script manually.
- Repackage Xinet Installer: If manual installation is not preferred, rename the closest matching XinetSMB package to match the exact Samba version, repackage the Xinet installer, and run the installation again.
- Upgrade Xinet: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, consider upgrading to a more recent version of Xinet that supports the Samba version on RHEL 9.5.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve compatibility issues and successfully install the Samba module on Xinet 2024.1.
