[Samba] Upgrading from 2.2.3a to 2.2.7a concerns

All:

Before I actually go and take the plunge on performing this upgrade I would 
like to find out if there are any caveats I should be aware of.  I am using 
RedHat 7.3 and have been using the pre-installed Samba since I began 
upgrading our network to Samba about 4 months ago.  I plan on using the 
2.2.7a rpm from Samba.org and would like to know if any of you have done 
this and whether or not you ran into problems and if so what was the best 
way to go about fixing them.

My plan is to run:

/etc/rc.d/init/smb stop
rpm -e samba-client
rpm -e samba
rpm -e samba-common

and then run

rpm -ivh samba-2.2.7a.i386.rpm
/etc/rc.d/init/smb start

My main concern is with the people who are currently logged into the server. 
  Do I need to be sure that everyone is logged out?  Or will they be logged 
out automagically when I shutdown the daemon.

If there is a preferred way to go about the upgrade than what I have above, 
please let me know.

I am including my smb.conf in hopes that if someone spies something awry 
they will let me know.

I look forward to any input,

Thanks

A Cline
