Upgrading Samba on a critical system

Hi everyone,

What is the best way to upgrade Samba on a running system with lots of
open files and oplocks (e.g. MS Exchange folders) without stopping and
starting Samba?  Is it safe to simply replace the binaries, and, if so,
does will this result in the new version being run?  Can I send some sort
of signal to the parent smbd and nmbd processes to get them to restart
from the new binaries whilst preserving connections and file locks?

Much obliged for any advice,

Matt.
