To start the Samba server and naming service enter the following commands:

$ sudo ${PREFIX}/libexec/smbd # Start the Samba server component
$ sudo ${PREFIX}/libexec/nmbd # Start the Samba naming service

The configuration file, found at ${CONFDIR}/smb.conf can be used right
away for simple configurations.  Local users must be added to the Samba user
database using the smbpasswd utility in order to use the Samba server.

$ sudo smbpasswd -a <username>

To have Samba start whenever the machine boots, add the following lines to the
/etc/rc.local script:

if [ -x ${PREFIX}/libexec/smbd ]; then
	echo -n ' smbd'
	${PREFIX}/libexec/smbd
fi
if [ -x ${PREFIX}/libexec/nmbd ]; then
	echo -n ' nmbd'
	${PREFIX}/libexec/nmbd
fi
