CentOS - Apr 2007 - Missing samba binaries

I went to enable samba on my home machine, which has a largely plain vanilla
install of CentOS 4.4 Plus, and the smbd and nmbd files are missing.  As you
may know, this makes it rather difficult to run samba.  For some reason, the
winbindd binary is present, and rpm reports:

samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.11
samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E.11

as present.  So how do I retrieve the missing samba binaries/  Do I remove
and reinstall the packages, or do I rebuild the latest samba from source, or
. . . ???

Thanks.

yum install samba samba-swat

(the 2nd is optional...   I use it to simplify configuring samba as the 
.conf file is long and complex....)

In addition to what you already have installed, you need
samba-3.0.10-1.4E.11.
