this looks like a standard installation of SuSE.

under /etc/init.d are all system startscripts on SuSE Distributions. So

change the path of the both daemons smbd and nmbd. At the moment there

are pathes like

/usr/sbin/smbd

/usr/sbin/nmbd

you should change it into

/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/bin/smbd

/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/bin/nmbd

and all other processes in that startscript - winbind is daemon which is

started, too. I attachted my samba startscript for you.

I changed the PATH variable which has the same effect.

PATH=/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/sbin:$PATH

export PATH

# The echo return value for success (defined in /etc/rc.config).

return=$rc_done

case "$1" in

start)

echo -n "Starting SMB services..."

nmbd -D

smbd -D

winbindd

echo -e "$return"

;;

stop)

echo -n "Shutting down SMB services."

killproc -TERM winbindd

killproc -TERM nmbd

killproc -TERM smbd

sleep 2

killproc -TERM nmbd

echo -e "$return"

;;

*)

echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"

exit 1

esac

# Inform the caller not only verbosely and set an exit status.

test "$return" = "$rc_done" || exit 1

exit 0
