Try downloading the samba-*2.2.7-5.8.0 packages that were released yesterday. Then install them with the command "rpm -Uvh samba*.rpm" as root in the directory where you downloaded the new packages. I suspect when you uninstalled Samba, you didn't uninstall all of the 2.2.5* packages. The new packages are based on 2.2.7, and the version mismatch probably confused the package manager. This isn't actually a Samba bug--it's a package manager bug. Thanks Jay. Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
