samba - Nov 2003 - Samba 3.0.1 from samba.org shows "bgmilne" as username

When I attempted to "rpm -i samba3-3.0.0-1.1mdk.src.rpm" this morning
on
my Mandrake 9.2 box, I got an unusual message that doesn't make sense.
It said, over and over (thirteen times total):

WARNING:  user bgmilne does not exist - using root

When it went back to root prompt, I did an "updatedb", but nothing for
"samba-3" is found when I did the urpmi request.  Any ideas?  I wrote
an
email that bounced to Mr Milne, and don't know what else to investigate

You installed a source rpm, not a binary RPM.  it sin 
/usr/src/mandrake/SOURCES or something like that.  you can make it into 
a binary rpm to install, rpm -bb samba3-3.0.0-1.1mdk.src.rpm and it'll 
compile and build the rpm and put in /usr/src/MANDRAKE/RPMS/i386 or 
something like that.

This isn't unusual for source rpms.  It just means it was bundled with
ownership of files as the developer,  whose account obviously doesn't
exist in your context.

Source RPMs don't typically show up there.  Build a binary RPM (or RPMs)
from the now installed SOURCE/SPEC combination and install those.

This is normal (ok, it started appearing since rpm-4.2) when you install
a SRPM on a machine which doesn't have the account (mine in this case)
which owned the sources in the SRPM when it was built.

Installing an SRPM only installs the sources into the directory pointed
to by the %_sourcedir directory, and the spec file to the directory
pointed to by the %_specdir directory.

You probably rather want to do:

rpm --rebuild samba3-3.0.0-1.1mdk.src.rpm

But this may require a few more packages, firstly the package to allow
you to build RPMS, secondly the buildrequires of the package. You can
achieve this with:

# urpmi rpm-build
# urpmi --src samba3-3.0.0-1.1mdk.src.rpm

Note however that urpmi won't know about the packages you have just built.

But, rebuilding the package will basically give you packages identical
to those in contrib for 9.2.

Jerry has uploaded my 3.0.1pre3 packages to the FTP mirrors, so you can
get 3.0.1pre3 with urpmi from your favourite samba mirror, using
something like this:

# urpmi.addmedia samba \
http://master.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/Mandrake/RPMS/test/9.2/\
with hdlist.cz

# urpmi samba3-server

BTW, I'm open to suggestions (from users who use the Mandrake urpmi
medium on the samba FTP mirrors) as to whether I should build samba3 for
 8.2->9.2 with the '--with system' switch, which will replace
samba-2.2.x packages (intead of install in parallel as at present). I
currently think it should stay as is (not give users on samba-2.2.x any
nasty surprises), but if you have a motivation why it should change,
please mail me in person.

My apologies, my inbox overflowed last night.
