Sorry foo_bar_foo, I missed your message while replying to kryptonite0110...
> i think in the future try to tell us exactly what commands you run so we can understand what you have done
it's gona be kind of dificult for a gnuuby to do but not impossible you just have to think a bit
Ok I will try to more specific next time. Thanks for being patient.
> it would be better to uninstall it first (the rpm) before you create your own
distributions have thier own way of doing things and trying to recreate that to overwrite will be too hard.

So basically I should uninstall samba-3.0.7 using rpm and "undo" what I have done for samba-3.0.12 right? That I should able to handle it.
> does it need to support cups, xinetd, pam, python, Kerberos, Stunnel to encrypt swat passwords,
ldap, sql
I don't need printer support. It's not necessary to have encryption, but it would be great for learning and it won't hurt to have it right? I installed OpenSSH so I can ssh to my box. So do you mean I already have stunnel installed and I only need to configure samba to use it? Or i'm simply mixing things up because Kerberos and Stunnel come with Samba?

Sorry I need to go for the moment....will continue to reply after I'm back for lunch. Thanks for the help though. I love this site.
