Looking for something like these:

-rw-r--r--    4 root     root      4820756 Feb 11 04:18 samba-2.2.3a-mej.1.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--    4 root     root      1951415 Feb 11 04:18 samba-client-2.2.3a-mej.1.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--    4 root     root      1395782 Feb 11 04:19 samba-common-2.2.3a-mej.1.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--    4 root     root      1929241 Feb 11 04:19 samba-swat-2.2.3a-mej.1.i386.rpm

I maintain my own samba packages for reasons I won't bother
explaining.  They mesh 100%, AFAIK, with the RedHat packaging standard
for Samba.  If you would like these, I'd be happy to make them
available.  Or the SRPM.  Or the spec file.  Whatever. :)
