samba install

[sys_admin]

hi,
anybody knows how to install samba without freeware CDs?
i had tried couple of times with internet tardist by sgi.com, but had
some conflicts.
conflicts say i need to install some files as fw_something.

You could try getting a tardist directly from the samba team (e.g.
http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/IRIX/)

Hi Mark,

Use the following method to install freeware. The trick is to download
all the freeware, and only install what you want plus what is required.
This is an easy task if you have it all. Also inst helps rather than
swmgr.

1. su -

2. mkdir /usr/dist;cd /usr/dist

3. ftp freeware.sgi.com
> cd Dist
>bin
>prompt
>mget *
>bye

4. find . -name "*tardist" -exec tar -xvf {} \;

5. inst
>from /usr/dist
>step
>conflicts
>go
>exit

If your bandwidth is more limited, try using the inst_get script
from the fw_common.sw.selections subsystem. It automates the process
of fetching the pre-req packages, though it is not very smart about
it, often fetching more than the minimum.

You will also need to install the appropriate version of wget (with
or without socks support) from fw_wget package.

Create a subdirectory, or it defaults to creating and using
/var/tmp/inst-get. The syntax is:

% /usr/freeware/relnotes/selections/inst-get fw_wget.sw.wget-socks5

(or whichever package you want to fetch with it's prereqs.)
