Stupid question about update from 2.0.7 to 2.2.0

3 Possibilities:
backup up the smb startup script, use
 rpm -e `rpm -q -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb`
to remove all the Redhat-stuff. Install samba 2.2 (./configure, make, 
make install), restore the smb starup script and edit it to point to 
the new biniaries, that should be left where "make install" has put 
them to.

Use the appropriate ./configure options to put the stuff with "make 
install" into the places the redhat components have been.

Wait for RedHat to publish the RH7.0-samba2.2.0-rpm
