Do you have either an extra box or the resources to clone your current
machine to a VM? I've found this ability worth its weight in gold since
you never know what's going to break until you put all the parts
together. RHEL 3 to current Samba is quite a step... even if you went
RHEL 3 to RHEL 5, you're jumping forward about 3 years.
