please help rebuilding samba on RedHat linux

[Helen Nulty <hnulty email unc edu>]

We had been following Bug 116787 because it affects us as well.  I'm 
sorry to
see that it has been CLOSED.   We need --with-msdfs compiled into samba.
for RedHat Linux version 3.

We want to migrate our samba services to RedHat Linux and Samba 
3.0.2-6.3E but I
could not get msdfs to work.   Then I learned that it wasn't compiled 
into samba by
default.

We customized as follows.  The updated samba.spec is attached.
- saved our smb.conf file and /etc/xinetd.d/swat file
- download source:  samba-3.0.2-6.3E.src.rpm.tar.gz
- uninstall samba and dependent packages:  redhat-cnfig-samba, 
samba-swat, samba
- install the source package:  rpm -i samba-3.0.2-6.3E.src.rpm
- update samba.spec in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
   specifically like so:
      ...
   CFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE %configure \
   --with-acl-support \
   --with-automount \
   --with-codepagedir=%{_datadir}/samba/codepages \
   --with-fhs \
   --with-libsmbclient \
   --with-lockdir=/var/cache/samba \
   --with-mmap \
   --with-msdfs \
   --with-pam \
   --with-pam_smbpass \
   --with-piddir=/var/run \
   --with-privatedir=%{_sysconfdir}/samba \
   --with-quotas \
   --with-smbmount \
   --with-swatdir=%{_datadir}/swat \
   --with-syslog \
   --with-utmp \
   --with-vfs \
   --without-smbwrapper
      ...
- rebuild samba:  rpmbuild -ba samba.spec   (while in 
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS directory)
- install the newly rebuilt packages in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386

Our smb.conf file is attached.  After rebuilding samba in this way, our 
DFS links
still did not work.  What are we missing?  Do we need to run the
winbindd daemon with our configuration?  We are relatively new with RedHat.

We will appreciate any assistance you can provide.  We have to make this 
work
before we can migrate.
