Could also rebuild the srpm.  I'm sure that's probably easiest.

Anyways, does 2.2.7a fix this 2GB file limit problem?  How long has
this problem been around (this is the first I've heard of it, but I'm
not a samba user).

It's also unfair to be sitting around and yelling "Hey Mandrake when
are you going to fix this bug that no one reported?".  Is there a
bugzilla entry for this?  I am assuming that if this was a legitimate
problem that needed to be addressed in updates, and the bug had been
reported to someone here, that it would have been forwarded to myself. 
This hasn't happened so I can only assume one of two things:  It was
reported, but not acted on, or it wasn't reported.

Which one is it, Bob?  Where's the bugzilla report you posted?
