Description Laradji nacer 2002-05-03 01:09:53 UTC
If you want to start samba with 
/etc/init.d/samba start

You need to use the command 
smbd -s /etc/samba/smb.conf and 
nmbd -s /etc/samba/smb.conf

And the init file use only --exec smbd or nmbd

The problem is perhaps during the configure script
All samba command search conf file in :

flubber root # smbpasswd
params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration 
file "/var/tmp/portage/samba-2.2.3a-r2/image//etc/samba/smb.conf":
        No such file or directory

i dont get this behaviour.  and i have no idea what is
causing it for you.

samba-2.2.4 is available.  please see if this one
gives you the same problem.
