So I'm trying to update to the new samba (2.0.9-1.3mdk).

(0)diverge@/var/cache/grpmi# rpm -U samba-2.0.9-1.3mdk.i586.rpm 
warning: /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb created as /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb.rpmnew
unpacking of archive failed on file /home/netlogon: cpio: chown failed - 
Operation not permitted

This is because /home is nfs-mounted and root can't touch it.

(1)diverge@/var/cache/grpmi# rpm -U --excludepath "/home/" 
samba-2.0.9-1.3mdk.i586.rpm
warning: /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb created as /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb.rpmnew
unpacking of archive failed on file /home/netlogon: cpio: chown failed - 
Operation not permitted

I've tried all the permutations of this that I can think of, and I can't 
get it not to try to unpack /home/netlogon (yes, it's in the archive, 
not in the post-install script).

Is this a bug in rpm, or am I being stupid?

Thanks!
-Ben
