Thanks Michael, By the way it seems that i don't have samba-confic-samba package installed. I tried to query the rpm, it shows no result. but samba, samba-client and samba-common are there. my latest downloaded packages from samba site are: samba-3.0.20-2.i386.rpm samba-common-3.0.20-2.i386.rpm samba-client-3.0.20-2.i386.rpm samba-swat-3.0.20-2.i386.rpm Is this what you've installed? I will give it a try. Let you know what happened :-). I am not feeling good about this but I will still give a try. Thanks for the advice! --- Michael Lai <ml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I ran into the same problem when I first tried to > upgrade. First you > will need to uninstall the old samba.
