I used yum to remove samba, winb* and krb5 and it somehow erased a ton of files and dependencies. I need some serious help, now yum doesnt work, up2date, wget, tons of stuff was uninstall. Here's the log file.

Rep:
You can simply manually download and install the packages you need to get yum working again. On a side note, I updated you thread title to something a little more useful.
I started at the end of the yum.log file and worked my way up it by running rpm -Uvh --nodeps "packagename"* and did that for every package that the yum.log file said was erased!
Now yum, ssh, ftp, etc, etc are all working. Probably just a few kinks left.

That's extremely dangerous. If anything you could have reinstalled YUM with nodeps. Then reinstall all of the packages with YUM!
If your apps now start crashing for unexplained reasons, you only have yourself to blame...
You may be able to save yourself by installing Synaptic, and doing a forced reinstall of all of the packages that you just installed. Hopefully it will re-check the dependencies and correct any issues...
