This is really good advice. Go to the "packaging/RedHat" directory and
run:
	sh makerpms.sh

That should build the RPMs in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386

PS: I am assuming that you will use a released samba tarball, not a CVS
checkout. IF using the CVS checkout you will want to execute:
	sh makerpms.sh devel
