I downloaded the tar.gz file for 3.0.27a and I noticed there is not

old but I don't have resources to upgrade the OS now. Was it
intentionally removed?

For my Fedora 3 and 4 machines out in the wild, I simply removed the
rpms altogether and installed from source.
It was a painless procedure, even including the vscan vfs objects.
Symlink the config files to the /usr/local/samba/lib directory and it
should work just fine. Sure makes upgrading to later versions
easier. :)
If you set a few of the compile options correctly then you could get
it to install into the same places as the rpm does so you wouldn't
need symlinks. Oh wait, that is what the makerpms.sh script was for! :)
Mark
My point exactly. Just leave the raw stuff where the raw stuff wants to
go, that way if some helper script goes away you're still ok, i.e. the
dropping of update support for FC3, 4, 5, 6, etc.
