Nadia,

1. Login as root

2. rpm -qa | grep samba

You will see a list that looks like:

	samba-2.2.8a-123
	samba-client-2.2.8a-123
	samba-common-2.2.8a-123
	samba-docs-2.2.8a-123

3. So now:
	rpm -e samba samba-client samba-common samba-docs

will remove all the samba related packages.


If you built Samba locally using default samba-team settings then your
samba will be installed in /usr/local/samba/...

In this case:

	rm -rf /usr/local/samba

will remove all of your self installed files.
