Samaba Versions ?

[KC8LDO]

I'm still trying to find why Samba doesn't work as expected on my F11 box. I 
found out there are some issues with the 3.4.2 version after doing some 
research with Google.

The one on my F12 box seems to work, at least for simple file sharing and 
browsing on the local home LAN, but not on the F11 box. I've been through 
all of the iptable stuff already with the help of some on the people on the 
list here, thanks.

The only difference I see now between the two is the version numbers. On F12 
its "3.4.2-47". On F11 its "3.4.2-42". I would have thought that both 
systems should at least have the same revision level since both are still 
actively maintained. I can't see where there should be any difference 
between the two distro releases for this package, F12 and F11.

Without having the same version on each machine leaves open the question 
that the older version is the problem, the one on the F11 machine. From my 
research there appears to be a problem with how Samba treats the remote 
machine that is inconsistent from previous versions. Some posters have 
reverted back to an older release to solve their problems. I'm wondering if 
the nasty bug(s) got fixed in the -47 version and not in the -42 version. If 
so why isn't there an update to the F11 repos? Somebody had to do it for 
F12.
