I have just uploaded samba-1.9.17p1-3.i386.rpm and it's source RPM to ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/redhat/RPMS/4.2/ This fixes the libdes dependency that caused installation to fail. It now includes /etc/pam.d/samba (left out of official release). Please beware: if you have installed pam-0.57-4 you will now need to install the update with the --nodeps and --force options to rpm. There is a buglett in the supplied /etc/smb.conf file in the [Globals] section. The parameter "encrypted passwords = no" should read: "encrypt passwords = no". Please hand modify this typo. It too will be fixed in the next update. Cheers, John H Tersptra - Samba-Team
