all,

I am having a weird situation .

I downloaded the latest samba version and followed the installation instructions.

 ./configure 
make 
etc...


 Then I tried to run samba but if use /etc/init.d/smb restart I get

 bash: /etc/init.d/smb: No such file or directory

 because there is no such file at all.

If I  try the following:

[root at localhost RPMS]# ls sam*
samba-client-2.0.7-36.i386.rpm  samba-common-2.0.7-36.i386.rpm
[root at localhost RPMS]# rpm -ivh samba* 
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
package samba-client-2.0.7-36 is already installed
package samba-common-2.0.7-36 is already installed

and then , if I try

[root at localhost RPMS]# rpm -e samba   
error: package samba is not installed
[root at localhost RPMS]# 


So, at this point I dont know if samba is installed or not


Any help will be appreciated.

thanks

Jair
