[Samba] Is samba isntalled or not?

[Doug Curtis]

You may be confusing the version you compiled with the RPMS that come with 
Linux.

The /etc/init.d/smb script comes with the samba-2.0.7 rpm package.  You can 
use the rpm version or if you want to remove the samba rpm's, you have to type 
the whole name of the package.
IE; rpm -e samba-client-2.0.7-36

Once you have the rpms removed, you can run the version you compiled.  I 
believe there is a sample startup script in one of the directories under the 
source.
