IT would be really cool if this was just a problem with up2date. When I
run it, it tells me that all my packages are uptodate, and then it
exits. But my installed version of shadow-utils is
shadow-utils-4.0.3-37. Unfortunately, since it exits before I can
select which package to upgrade, it won't let me explicitly upgrade
shadow-utils.
What led me to believe that my situation was status quo was comments I
found from the results of several searches via google, and various lists
that I've found. I tried scanning the archives and didn't find anything
helpful, but a few references that led me to believe that RH had decided
to forego samba in order to support posix. I posted the problems I was
having on this news group. When I received no response, I assumed that
this was a known issue and folks were tired of talking about it.
I wasn't trying to post a bug report, cause I assumed it was working as
designed.
