Hi ,

Making ./configure, make and make install is not the way to upgrade packages 
on a RPM based system. It probably won't behave as expected.
The way Toby described is one way to do it.  There 2 other possibilities.
EL5.3 ships with Samba 3.0.33,  so one can try to rebuild the src.rpm on 
EL4. (Download the src.rpm from ftp://ftp.redhat.com because, CentOS 5.3 is 
not ready yet).  Probably some tweaking of the dependencies is necessary.
I have done this often with packages like squid and postfix. (src rpm taken 
from latest FC), and this worked well for me.

Easiest way, if you don't want to backport / rebuild your self is the use of 
the Sernet packages. Sernet offers Samba latest released Samba packages for 
SuSE / EL / CentOS and Debian. One note here. Sernet use a different package 
setup is EL does. The EL / CentOS rpms have a "SuSE" layout..
So before installing them, de-install all EL/CentOS based samba packages..

Success,
John
