Sorry for butting in, but your response is a little ambiguous or maybe unbelievable. Are you saying that at the prompt in a terminal window while root you see something like this: [root your domain root] # rpm -qa|grep samba rpm:L one type query/verify may be performed at a time [root your domain root] # here is a copy / paste of my systems response: [root@ip68-7-36-36 ~]# rpm -qa|grep samba samba-common-3.0.5-0pre1.0 samba-client-3.0.5-0pre1.0 [root@ip68-7-36-36 ~]# If you need to copy / paste the rpm command above into your terminal window (this absolutely prevents typos) HTH Scott
