The best bet is to not go with *hat in the first place. however, as
you've already failed that, your second best bet is to modify the source
RPM from upstream, or from one of the other RPM distros (like fedora, or
CENTos)(both of which are as bad as *hat) and build it on your machine.

My googling seems to point at upgrading samba to 3.4. Currently installed on my
RHEL 5.2 32 bit server is as listed below for smb and samba.
If I was running RHEL 64 bit I would be supported by red hat and updating the
OS to the latest 5.x would provide this for me. For some reason red hat feels
they do not need to support their 32 bit users, which my server is running, and
updating the OS does not update certain packages like samba and php. Even
though I have paid support with red hat they will not provide support to update
the needed packages.
Thus, is there a detailed set of procedures on how to manually upgrade samba on
a RHEL 5.2 server? I do not want to try this by trial and error and cripple the
server.
Thanks

The linux samba information:
[root@finaid45 samba]$ rpm -qa | grep smb
pam_smb-1.1.7-7.2.1
libsmbclient-3.0.33-3.29.el5_6.2
gnome-vfs2-smb-2.16.2-8.el5

samba-3.0.33-3.29.el5_6.2
system-config-samba-1.2.41-5.el5
Is the samba machine a pdc?
