Please excuse what is probably a dumb question from a newbie. I'm trying to upgrade to samba 2.2.7a. When I attempt to install the RPM, I get a series of about 50 errors all in this format: <path><file name> from install of samba-2.2.7a conflicts with file from package samba-2.0.7-36. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

One simple way to do this is to type: $ /usr/bin/redhat-config-packages in a GNOME-TERMINAL. Or select it from the KDE/GNOME menu. Select "Windows File Server" and deselect it from the list of installed packages. Now try to reinstall the new package. No more conflicts should appear. IMPORTANT NOTE: I am also a newbie but I've had my problems with RPMs and I'm quite sure that should solve the problem. Regards Harald Milz
