samba stoped working :(

when I try do something with samba I got error this message

root@srv1:/etc/rc.d# /etc/rc.d/rc.samba start
Starting Samba: /usr/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/sbin/smbd: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/nmbd -D
/usr/sbin/nmbd: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It is file server in work... Windows users are taking files from this lan server... I gues that here is redhal linux!

What distribution do you use? Maybe some automated update procedure failed and removed libcap package?

rpm -q --provides libcap
which distro/version

Will give you some info.
If it's debian things will be a tad different. You'll use apt-get to check, update, or install packages.
