The first is what Alain recommended ... there is a samba-3x version that is part of CentOS-5. The current version is: samba3x-3.5.10-0.108.el5_8.src.rpm That is a good option, and it will be supported with updates for the lifetime of EL5. Another option if you want to use the smb2 protocol (the one that is used in Windows-7, 8, and Windows Server 2008 and is included in samba-4 and samba-3.6.x) then you can use enterprisesamba.org http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.6/rhel/5/ I have personally used samba-3.6.x (and the standard LDAP in CentOS-5) for the last 7 months from enterprisesamba.org for $work for a Windows domain directory services without any major issues. (a domain for more than 300 users and interconnected across several US states) Info on smb2: http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.6.0.html Thanks, Johnny Hughes
