No, it contains all pieces of samba. Since RH doesn't maintain their own
packaging, the samba team does it for them, but thier way. You will
notice it should provide samba-client, samba-common etc. Check with 'rpm
- -qlp samba-2.2.8a-1*'

Where are your users and groups defined? Is your rpm db healthy? Have
you tried 'rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*; rpm --rebuilddb'?

No, but I have some more documentation (in progress) that may be of
interest. While it's biased toward Mandrake (so am I), it covers a
number of issues:

It follows on this one, which is also not finished (not by me).
