Hi,

The most easiest way to samba running on SuSE 9.0, is to use the Sernet 
packages. Sernet provides recent Samba packages for older SuSE distro's 
(back to 8.2). Check out: ftp://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/

An other possebility is to try to rebuild  the samba packages based on the 
specfile creation tools  at
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/samba/ SuSE 9.0 is close to SLES9.
This will not be easy and requires to use the old way "SuSE" buildsystem. 
The SLES 9 specfile needs to be adapted to fit SuSE 9.0


Success,
John
