I have a server running samba-3.0.9-1.3E.10. And I'm trying to update that so I can now add windows 7 pcs to my network. The server is a Dell Poweredge 2850 running Red Hat Enterprise Linux EX release 3 (taroon update 8). It's also running Webmin version 1.580. I wanted to download the update as an .rmp thinking it would be easier and I would be able to run it from my webmin command line. I went to http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=samba to the .rmp. I wasn't sure which one to try so I tried a few. I would like to stay away fedora if possible. I ran the rmp from my command shell using rpm -U command. That ended up giving me the error error: Failed dependencies: libacl.so.1(ACL_1.0) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libattr.so.1(ATTR_1.0) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.11) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.5) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.6) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.8) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libgssapi_krb5.so.2(gssapi_krb5_2_MIT) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libk5crypto.so.3(k5crypto_3_MIT) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libkrb5.so.3(krb5_3_MIT) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 liblber-2.4.so.2 is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libldap-2.4.so.2 is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libnscd.so.1 is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libnscd.so.1(LIBNSCD_1.0) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libpam.so.0(LIBPAM_1.0) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libpam.so.0(LIBPAM_EXTENSION_1.0) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libpopt.so.0(LIBPOPT_0) is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libtalloc.so.2 is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libtdb.so.1 is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 libwbclient.so.0 is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 samba-client >= 3.6.3 is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.6-1 is needed by samba-3.6.3-34.12.1 Then I tried rpm -U --nodeps.

Even the RHEL 4 series has now had support discontinued. RHEL 5 or 6 (or CentOS) will support a PowerEdge 2850 out the box. Trying to find some RPM to install or even compiling from source on an ancient version of RHEL that will have a whole bunch of other vulnerabilities is extremely unwise to say the very least.
