I have a server running samba-3.0.9-1.3E.10. And I'm trying to update that so I can now add windows 7 pcs to my network. The server is a Dell Poweredge 2850 running Red Hat Enterprise Linux EX release 3 (taroon update 8). It's also running Webmin version 1.580. I wanted to download the update as an .rmp thinking it would be easier and I would be able to run it from my webmin command line. I went to http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=samba to the .rmp. I wasn't sure which one to try so I tried a few. I would like to stay away fedora if possible. I ran the rmp from my command shell using rpm -U command. That ended up giving me the error
You need to update to a more recent release of RHEL than 3.8. Even the RHEL 4 series has now had support discontinued. RHEL 5 or 6 (or CentOS) will support a PowerEdge 2850 out the box.
Trying to find some RPM to install or even compiling from source on an ancient version of RHEL that will have a whole bunch of other vulnerabilities is extremely unwise to say the very least.
