WARNING In the previous releases, it has been possible to have binaries

from mixed versions of CIFS Server in the /opt/samba/bin

subdirectory with no apparent ill effect. With the A.01.11.01

version, HP implements a new method of locking TDB ﬁles

which makes the use of any binaries other than those

shipped with this release highly unsafe. You must use the

swinstall utility to formally install versions of CIFS Server,

and do not copy CIFS Server binaries of different revisions

between systems.
