[Samba] Fwd: Trying to update samba

[Gaiseric Vandal]

Typically, RPM's from RedHat or Fedora are pretty dependent on glibc and
other system libraries.  Newer version of RedHat will have newer
versions of glibc, so the official packages are often not compatible
with older versions. 

Sernet may have precompiled RPM's that may be useful.

If not you will probably need to compile from source.   Or move to a
newer version of RHEL.

I have a server running samba-3.0.9-1.3E.10.  And I'm trying to update that so I
can now add windows 7 pcs to my network.  The server is a Dell Poweredge 2850
running Red Hat Enterprise Linux EX release 3 (taroon update 8).  It's also
running Webmin version 1.580.  I wanted to download the update as an .rmp
thinking it would be easier and I would be able to run it from my webmin command
line.  I went to http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=samba to the
.rmp.  I wasn't sure which one to try so I tried a few.  I would like to stay
away fedora if possible.  I ran the rmp from my command shell using rpm -U
command.  That ended up giving me the error

Then I tried rpm -U --nodeps.  The new error message I received was

error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic




I'm not really familiar with this os so any help would greatly be appreciated.
