Thank you, I should have been more specific, I was actually looking for the newer versions at < http://www.sernet.de/en/samba%3E referenced in the wiki about additional repositories at https://wiki.centos.org/PatrickDGarvey/AdditionalResources/Repositories. The sernet site was easy to navigate in English before, but i can't make heads or tails of it now. i should also mention that i'm currently using centos 6.6 "FINAL". will be updating soon.
SerNet no longer offers their Samba packages for free.
