The Samba packages on Fedora 3 should be installed like this:
rpm -Uhv --nodeps /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/samba-common-3.0.14a-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uhv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/samba-3.0.14a-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uhv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/samba-client-3.0.14a-1.i386.rpm
GAAAAHH!!!! NO!!!
nodeps is bad. Why don't you just try installing everything with the --force flag, since that's what you're doing basically, throwing the integrity of the rpm database right out the window.
Put all the packages on one rpm line and you'll be fine. That allows rpm to figure out for itself that you've got your ducks in a row and trust that if it does just what you said everything will be all right.
Turning rant off for a second, there is one place where a --nodeps or even a --force is useful. When you do a yum upgrade you need to push a couple packages (like rpm itself) in really hard to get it to kick off right, but that's a pretty specific situation where you're upgrading pretty much everything on the system anyway. On a regular package and a functioning system, --nodeps is a no-no, especially if you don't know why you want to use it in the first place.
Don't forget to backup /var/lib/samba/* and /etc/samba/* before the update and after the shutdown of all samba deamons.
