[Samba] samba installation

[Michael Noble]

If you have both versions of samba installed on your system and
you want to use the one in /usr/local. You need to modify your
path statement to have /usr/local/bin come before /usr/bin.
You should have a file /etc/init.d/samba  or /etc/init.d/smb
you want to edit this file and and change the paths were samba 
is located.  Basically edit the file and tell it where to find 
the files smbd (/usr/local/bin/smbd or wherever they are).
The best thing that you can do would be to remove the old version.
If that is not possible then at least rename smbd nmbd files in
/usr/bin to be smbd.old and nmbd.old and smbstatus  to smbstatus.old.
This way the new files would be found in /usr/local/bin. Either way
you must make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your path and in roots
path for startup.
