  1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.8 is packaged with Samba 3.0 and 3.5 (with the "Samba3" name on the RPMs). Neither of those Samba versions supports SMB2. (Samba started officially supporting SMB2 in version 3.6.)

    You may be able to add third-party Samba RPMs (or you can build it yourself) to get SMB2 support in RHEL 5.8, but the stock RPMs from RedHat don't support it.
