FC3 uses rpm packages to mantain the system up to date.
Im sorry to tell you that Fedora dosen't work this way, you just can't
upgrade every single package coz every package needs a dependency. FC
doesn't resolve this automatically.
You should download every samba-*-3.0.14a-1.i386.rpm and install them to
make this work. When you download every package, just
rpm -Uvh samba*3.0.14a*rpm
And everything maybe... maybe... works. But again, is Fedora...
This is not a samba problem. Is a Fedora problem.
