[Samba] samba multiple instances

[devzero at web.de]

you mean i should compile it myself and choose that dir at configure time?
ok - that make sense and i thought of that already - but - why shouldn`t that be configurable with a binary package?
i don`t like software with hardcoded paths in general :)
