You'd follow these instructions if you were compiling
from source.  Samba 2.2.7a can be installed on RedHat
7.3 using RPMs from Samba's FTP site.

Once installed, make sure you have the library:
[supcd at hjx-app-01 supcd]$ ls -l
/lib/security/pam_winbind.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        17148 01-27 17:26
/lib/security/pam_winbind.so

Good luck,
