Hi,

This is how you have to install the binaries:

1. Extract the archive to the root directory.
2. Modify /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf accordingly to your needs
3. Test your smb.conf with testparms
4. Run "/etc/samba enable" once to allow automatic startup of Samba during boot
5. If you do not reboot run "/etc/samba start" to start Samba

This is the basic stuff. I suggest that you also download the source distribution to get all additional information that comes with it.

Best regards,
