Hi All Guys,

I have RH7.3 default installation of samba and configure /etc/samba/smb.conf 
according to the steps prepared in

http://linuxorbit.com/howto/sambahowto.php3

When started Samba at 'root'

#smb start
bash: smb: command not found

# smbd -D|nmbd -D
bash: smbd: command not found
bash: nmbd: command not found


I removed the default package

#rpm -e samba

and installed a newer package "samba-2.2.5-1.i386.rpm" downloaded from 
Internet

#rpm -ivh samba-2.2.5-1.i386.rpm

# rpm -qa|grep samba
samba-client-2.2.3a-6
samba-common-2.2.3a-6


edited /etc/samba/smb.conf again and tried to start Samba
(remark: the previous old smb.conf still be found there)

#smb start
bash: smb: command not found

# smbd -D|nmbd -D
bash: smbd: command not found
bash: nmbd: command not found

Kindly advise how to proceed

Thanks in advance.
