Which SAMBA? 1

[SamBones]

Howdy Gang,

I need to upgrade my SAMBA to the latest production release. I'm running on Solaris 8 and have downloaded the compiled binaries for SAMBA 2.2.8a. There were three different ones on the FTP site and I'm not sure which one I need to install. The package names are...
[tt]
samba-2.2.8a-1-sol8-gcc295.pkg
samba-2.2.8a-1-sol8-suncc-32bit.pkg
samba-2.2.8a-1-sol8-suncc-64bit.pkg
[/tt]
This looks to be how the binaries were compiled. I'm assuming this since I couldn't find anything on the FTP site that says this explicitly.

I need to upgrade a Sun Ultra 2, Ultra 10, and an E4000. Can I install any of these packages? One of these machines is still on Solaris 2.6, will that cause a problem?

Just trying to save myself some time consuming experimentation. Thanks in advance!

since you're on a sparc:

type: isainfo -b

this should tell you if you're using 64 bit or 32 bit.

if you're using 64bit, then you can only install the samba-2.2.8a-1-sol8-suncc-64bit.pkg package.

otherwise you can install either of the other 2.

i'd pick the samba-2.2.8a-1-sol8-suncc-32bit.pkg version, but thats just me.
