I've not used them either.

I should point out that it should be rather simple to rebuild from the
samba.org source rpms per their instructions...

http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/Fedora/
(I think that even though they are tagged 'Fedora' those are the proper
source rpms for RHEL-4 and rebuilds)

download the source...

rpmbuild --rebuild ...

rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/samba*
