[Samba] 2.4.x smbfs patches - installation?

[Doug Watson]

I am running Samba 2.2.8-1 installed from rpm on RedHat 8.0, Kernel 2.4.20

I have been experiencing the same issues with Samba/smbfs regarding
directory listing errors that I have seen much conversation about on many
lists.
smb_proc_readdir_long: name=, result=-2, rcls=1, err=123

I am aware of and have downloaded the following patches from
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/
00-smbfs-2.3.18-codepage.patch
01-smbfs-2.4.18-lfs.patch
02-smbfs-2.4.18-unicode.patch
smbfs-2.4.18-uid32.patch
smbmount-2.2.3a-negotiate.patch

To this point I have had no luck installing the patches as I have never
actually installed a patch in this manner.
Does anyone have a set of instructions on installing these
patches and any necessary recompiling afterward.

Thank you,
Doug Watson
