The most common mistake when upgrading Samba is not installing it into
the same prefix.  If the old installation was in /usr/local/bin then
install the new version into that location.

Also, if the old version was some SGI package, why not try and install a
new SGI package, rather than from source (if you did it that way).

The logs are your most useful tool, as are the manpages and the Samba
HOWTO collection.  These are all online at
