Hi,
Was the samba3x-* downloaded manually? Seems like you already have samba installed hence the conflict error. If it is, can I suggest the following:
a. remove the installed samba
b. go to rpmforge and setup rpmforge repo into your centos 5.3
c. do a
yum check-update
yum install yum install samba samba-common samba-client
It will install any other dependencies for samba. Note it does not come with swat for samba but from experience you dont really need that. If you prefer a gui to configure your samba, perhaps webmin would be easier.
I would guess your bind installation would be easier using rpmforge as well.
