Installing RPM's is (generally) just rpm -Uvh <package file name>
With multi-package programs like Samba and netscape, you can use an
asterisk (at least I've always had good luck with this):
rpm -Uvh netscape*
rpm -Uvh samba-*
As for ownership, the UID gets stored and your UID doesn't match the UID of
the packager. Maybe you're installing a tarball? I wouldn't for Apache,
because I would want the easy upgrades but YMMV. The easiest fix, I think,
would be to create a user with UID 125. I'm not exactly sure how the GID
is best resolved. I must say that I've never had trouble with the Red Hat
packages but I have a pretty vanilla setup too...
