Ok, I downloaded the SRPM file (
http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/RedHat/SRPMS/samba-3.0.6-1.src.rpm ).

I rebuilt the SRPM file with the command:

rpmbuild --rebuild samba-3.0.6-1.src.rpm

(you will need the package rpm-build installed)

That produced a file named samba-3.0.6-1.i386.rpm (in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/).

I installed the program with the command:

rpm -Uvh samba-3.0.6-1.i386.rpm

Once the update was completed, I had to edit the file:

/etc/xinetd.d/swat

and change the line:

disable = yes

to

disable = no

then restart xinetd.d with the command:

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
