You could remove the version you don't like and install the version you want from sources.

It's a solution, a particularly bad one in the long run in my opinion. You won't get any security updates that way other than those you patch in and compile yourself.

Moving away from SMB/CIFS is the better long-term move.

The thing is I can keep all of the current version, I only need the one binary from the past as they can run concurrent if need be.

Moving away would be good if I knew what pitfalls the alternatives have. The thing is I know a lot about the pitfalls of samba including a in depth document that illustrates the kludges that have been implemented to make it work as well as numerous bug reports.

Now I have invested in some scripts to automate the mounting of shares for my users and that is a big time commitment that I no longer have.
