    Thanks for the some detailed advice. I will give it a
    try. Right now now I am trying to install the new rpm
    package with upgrade version but it doesn't like. I
    want to uninstall all previous installed pacakages but
    my rpm query only shows the samba packages. If I try
    to upgrade the samba-common package, it shows the
    error that current version of samba-common is needed
    by the currently running samba. Can you give some
    steps on how did you upgraded to new version of samba?

    Do I need to stop the samba server first? or rpm
    package know how to do it itself?

    Why can't I just upgrade the rpms? rpm -Uvh doesn't
    work.

    Do I need wipe out the current samba entirely before I
    will install the new package?

    Thanks a lot!
