Thanks for the explanation Jerry,
I noted that 3.0.21b-3 src.rpm for fedora is out, will compile it in
RHEL4(CentOS4) and test it.

BTW, the rpms for RHEL4 from http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/rhel/rhel4/ have
more pakages and different names that the .rpm shipped in RHEL4.
For example, the packages are called samba3-* and in RHEL4 are called 
samba-*
Also, packages libsmbclient and libsmbclient-devel does not exits in RHEL4,
so, upgrading is not straightforward.

Regards,
Oliver
