[Samba] Looking for compiled version 1.9 of Samba

[Paul Davis]

I am trying to assist a client who need a compiled version of Samba 1.9 for his SCO ODT 3.2 v4.2 environment. We are trying to connect an old version of DataFlex on SCO and need the bridge.

Anybody have an old compiled version?

Thanks

SCO? I would suggest virtualizing that requirement on a different box with a suitable legacy distro.

Offload as many services as you can and when completely moved, dump the SCO system. Nuke it from orbit.

Gc

*Wince*. I spent a year doing SCO OpenServer migrations to RHEL. But
ODT 3.2? That's a 19 year old OS, from a company that's been bankrupt
for the last 10. I don't know if you can virtualize that on VMWare,
but if you do have to, look at my notes at
http://aplawrence.com/SCO_OSR5/smithosr5vmware.html. The key is to use
virtualized IDE drives and old, old network devices.

Unless you find someone who *bothered* to buy a compiler from SCO and
assemble the necessary toolchain to build Samba, and kept a copy for
20 years, I think you're unlikely to find anything. And building such
an old version sounds...... pretty painful.

Can you NFS share the content and put a Samba server on *top* of an
NFS mount from a modern Linux box? It might be much, much faster and
more stable.
