It's normally best *not* to remove a package, but just to upgrade it,
but this shouldn't make much of a difference.

I haven't looked at it in detail now, but FYI, the default smb.conf that
ships with the samba RPMS on Mandrake needs about 6 lines uncommented to
turn it into a domain controller with many features. I don't like swat
because it removes all these well-tested examples which are configured
for Mandrake including the directory layout we use.

I always use the procedure that I have made animated screenshots of here:

I don't trust wizards ;-).

But have you rebooted the machine and tried to log in?

Also, we don't run SP3 yet, we currently only run up to SP2 due to
issues with the EULA ...
