Re: [Samba] Best strategy to undo an update

My http authentication through winbind has stopped working with a Fedora

 httpd-2.0.49-4 -> httpd-2.0.50-2.1  & samba-3.0.3-5 ->  
samba-3.0.6-2.fc2
which I believe is caused by a winbind bug 
(http://us1.samba.org/samba/news/#comingsoon_3.0.7)

What is the best strategy to fix this?  I can think of two:
1)      rpm --erase all the samba-*-3.0.6-2.fc2 packages and
       rpm --install all the samba-*-3.0.3-5 packages
   I have never done this, but suppose it will work.
2)  download the Samba 3.0.6 source, apply the patch, compile, 
install, & run

   I am worried this will somehow interfer w/ samba-*-3.0.6-2.fc2 
packages
   preventing me from using the Fedora update in the future.

1 should work quite well, however keep in mind that by doing that you 
are going to lose everything in /var/cache/samba (idmaps etc.) so you 
may need to reapply permissions on local files.

I'm not sure how 2 will work and I imagine it would cause some confusion 
with Fedora's update feature.
