Hi, could you assist with installing a specific version of Nginx on Ubuntu? I am getting the below after following this.

root@web-server-nginx:~# apt-get install nginx=1.14.0-0ubuntu1

You may have to build samba and the SMB protocol from source, in order to install the exact versions you want on CentOS 6.9.

Thanks for this article! Can I upgrade installed Samba version on CentOS 6.9 to latest available samba version e.g. I have samba-3.6.23 on CentOS 6.9 and I would like to update it to samba-4.6.2, as the CentOS 6.9 repo does not offer this latest version of samba, can I add a repo to CentOS 6.9 which offers latest version of samba and then upgrade it using yum? If I upgrade like this, will it affect all future yum system updates?

I would like to upgrade my SMB protocol from version 2.0.2 to SMB version 3.1.1, we have all latest Windows 10 clients and Samba FileServer (CentOS 6.9). Can you suggest a possible solution? Thank you!
