Samba does not install to /usr/local/samba unless you compile from source. config files are in /etc and you can start and stop the daemons with the control scripts in /etc/init.d/rc.d. If the rpm did install to /usr/local/samba then none of the samba commands such as nmblookup would be in your path. Linux is not Windows; installing something installs it onto your system wherever it is going to go. re-installing and uninstalling only serves to thrash the disks a bit. The book using Samba is available in electronic format on the web and it is an excellent reerence. Regards, Kerry.
