Using samba package in an OpenBSD environment:

1. Edit ${SYSCONDIR}/samba/smb.conf to suit your needs.

2. Edit ${SYSCONDIR}/rc.conf.local:
   ...
   smbd_flags="-D"         # for normal use: "-D"
   nmbd_flags="-D"         # for normal use: "-D"
   ...

3. Edit ${SYSCONDIR}/rc.local:
   echo -n 'starting local daemons:'
   ...
   if [ -f ${SYSCONDIR}/samba/smb.conf ]; then
       if [ X"${smbd_flags}" != X"NO" -a -x /usr/local/libexec/smbd ]; then
           echo -n ' smbd';    /usr/local/libexec/smbd ${smbd_flags}
       fi
       if [ X"${nmbd_flags}" != X"NO" -a -x /usr/local/libexec/nmbd ]; then
           echo -n ' nmbd';    /usr/local/libexec/nmbd ${nmbd_flags}
       fi
   fi
   ...
   echo '.'

Steps 4 and 5 are only necessary if you want to enable swat (Samba 
Web Administration Tool). Please note that administering the server
with swat over a network is inadvisable as passwords are passed in
the clear. You can avoid this problem by using ssh forwarding to
port 901.

4. add the following entry to ${SYSCONDIR}/inetd.conf:

   ...
   swat  stream  tcp  nowait.400  root  /usr/local/libexec/swat  swat
   ...

5. add the following entry to ${SYSCONDIR}/services:

   ...
   swat            901/tcp                 # samba admin service
   ...

Install the samba-docs package and see documentation files in
/usr/local/share/doc/samba and example config files in
/usr/local/share/examples/samba for more information.
