I want to upgrade my samba installation from 3.0.9-1.3E.3 to 3.0.20 without breaking anything along the way :) Any suggestions about order of installation? It looks like I will have to nodeps at least some of the packages. I have everything working with our AD environment so I don't want to disturb it if possible.
Thanks in advance,
Chuck

Is there something in this version of Samba that you need? If not, security updates are backported:
http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html
So, I would not upgrade beyond the version that is included with CentOS ...
If I was going to upgrade because there was a feature I HAD TO HAVE, I would only use other RH based upgrades ... like the one from CentOS-4 or the versions from FC4 or FC5 beta only (and rebuild the RPMS from the SRPMS).

---- 3.0.20 has a bunch of fixes for interacting with AD environments which is what is driving his interest. I would expect that RHEL will adopt it probably soon after 3.0.20b happens.
