AW: [Samba] samba installation

[kenneth.westelinck at pandora.be]

If you compile samba like this, then the full samba install is underneath /usr/local/samba, not /usr/local/samba-2.2.8a. The latter is the source tree. So you should try this:
- kill the current samba daemons: /etc/init.d/samba stop
- make sure they are really dead
  * ps fax | grep smbd kill all listed processes
  * ps fax | grep nmbd kill all listed processes
- now type /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
- now type /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D
You should now be running the latest samba distribution. If so, change the init scripts (/etc/init.d/samba) accordingly.
