Sysadmin Question

[Joel Hammer]

This means you will be missing some binaries from the new distribution,
the ones specific to linux which allow mounting of windows shares, etc.
I would recompile with: configure --with-smbmount.
You'll see all the binaries in /usr/local/samba/bin after that.
And no, they don't mention it in the documentation. You have to read the
configure file. I know. I made the exact same mistake.
