If it is only the /usr/sbin/smbd file that was deleted, then it might
be easiest to do this:

Get the original RPM that you used to install Samba.
Use rpm2cpio and cpio to extract just the smbd file somewhere.
Move the smbd file to /usr/sbin.

But make sure you have good backups first in case you make a mistake.

I can't check the correct syntax now because I don't have access to an
RPM-based distribution at the moment.
