Created Internal RFE bug #112942 - will be considered for future releases.
I've put RPMs of samba-3.0.2rc1 on http://people.redhat.com/fenlason/.samba . Can you try them and see if they resolve your problem. Note that these are un-qa'd packages of a release that is not intended for production use. If they solve your problem, I will attempt to get samba-3.0.2 included in the next quarterly update of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
RHEL 3 has samba-3.0.2-6.3E for some time so I'm closing this bug. If anybody disagree, please reopen.
