[root@netsrv /root]# rpm -qa | grep ldap
openldap-1.2.9-6
nss_ldap-105-1
[root@netsrv /root]# rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-2.0.6-9
samba-client-2.0.6-9
samba-common-2.0.6-9

Does this mean I will have to recompile both ldap and samba or just get the
HEAD branch of samba and use my current ldap.  I assume I should rpm -e my
samba packages before trying to compile samba.
