It looks like you can specify a version number, such as:

	yum install samba-common-3.0.22-1.fc5 samba-3.0.22-1.fc5

You'll have to remove the old (newer;-) packages first, which will
likely be a pain.


I would download the packages and install them by hand... you can
usually find the previous releases in the updates directory on your
favorite Fedora mirror, such as:

ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/


Grab the files you want, then run:

	rpm -Uhv --oldpackage samba*.rpm
