To the best of my knowledge if you already know the Samba version that
you can do this with (I've not done this, although its sparked an
inspiration to try it) RPM packages of samba.
The Qube's use an Intel architecture, so you'll find that just getting
an RPM of the version you want and installing that should do the job.

Depending on how often you use/need to use the web-based admin, then it
may be worth getting a source tar ball instead of RPM and compiling it
to use a different smb.conf/smbpasswd etc file location so that you can
make changes, and each time something changes on the web admin interface
it doesn't overwrite your config file.
