upgrade, best way

[Douglas Egan]

I did the same thing with netbsd.  I did the brute force method.  I installed 2.2 in a different directory (/usr/local/samba) but I used the same config file.

I manually edited inetd.conf and put the new path info to smbd, nmbd and swat.

Killed and restarted the process, and it worked.

Now I need to think if I do the pkg_delete, will it mess anything up.  Hopefully not.
