So should I just download the latest installer and run it or do need to uninstall first? <div>On 06/09/06, David Trask <<a href="mailto:dtrask@vcsvikings.org"> dtrask@vcsvikings.org</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">The new smbldap-installer addresses the fact that Fedora is now packaging smbldap-tools on their repository. You probably could have used a backup of the database. You might have been able to download the latest smbldap-installer....rerun the setup....deleted the old database and restored....or it might have just worked once the new "links" to the new locations of smbldap-tools were in place.
