My ultimate goal is to use this SRPM for RHEL4 and CentOS.  When it failed building on those OSs, then I tried on Fedora Core 4 which also failed.

After comparing the samba.spec from samba.org and the one that comes with the samba-3.0.10 srpm on RHEL, I have adjusted a few things that seem to make things right.

I initially only modified the make install section; however, after only modifying that section, I found problems with some dat files that samba wanted to find in /usr/lib/samba rather than in /usr/lib64/samba by simply installing the rpms and running testparm.  I went ahead and also modified the configure section, rebuilt the rpms and now testparm does not complain about the dat files which means it is finding them in /usr/lib64/samba.

Further testing of the rpms is still required to make sure things will work correctly.  On My first try with the rpms made after having only modified the make install section of the srpm, the server would not allow users to access the shares (user/password combinations would fail), so I rolled back to the old version. I will try and test the new rpms and report back.

This is the patch for the original samba.spec file.
