IT would be really cool if this was just a problem with up2date.  When I 
run it, it tells me that all my packages are uptodate, and then it 
exits.  But my installed version of shadow-utils is 
shadow-utils-4.0.3-37.  Unfortunately, since it exits before I can 
select which package to upgrade, it won't let me explicitly upgrade 
shadow-utils.

What led me to believe that my situation was status quo was comments I 
found from the results of several searches via google, and various lists 
that I've found.  I tried scanning the archives and didn't find anything 
helpful, but a few references that led me to believe that RH had decided 
to forego samba in order to support posix.  I posted the problems I was 
having on this news group.  When I received no response, I assumed that 
this was a known issue and folks were tired of talking about it.

I wasn't trying to post a bug report, cause I assumed it was working as 
designed.
