Hi Will..

Thnks for the information.  Well here is what I see when I run that command 
(as root):

[root@localhost root]# rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-2.2.7a-1


Nothing more.

And this is what I see when I try to reinstall Samba:

[root@localhost root]# rpm -e samba-2.2.7a-1
error reading information on service smb: No such file or directory
error reading information on service smb: No such file or directory
error: %trigger(samba-2.2.7a-1) scriptlet failed, exit status 1


By the way - I am using the latest RH8.0 distribution and the latest Samba 
files.  Just in case this means anything. Maybe I should go back to the 
distribution on the CDrom??
