Hi,
Ultimately, you want to start 'mbd' at boot time. Put the following in /usr/local/etc/rc.d as samba.sh:
#!/bin/sh
smbspool=/var/spool/samba
pidfiledir=/var/run
smbd=/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd
nmbd=/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd
# start
if [ "x$1" = "x" -o "x$1" = "xstart" ]; then
if [ -f $smbd ]; then
if [ -d $smbspool ]; then
rm -f $smbspool/*
fi
echo -n ' Samba'
$smbd -D
$nmbd -D
fi
# stop
elif [ "x$1" = "xstop" ]; then
kill `cat $pidfiledir/smbd.pid`
kill `cat $pidfiledir/nmbd.pid`
fi
To be clear, if you copy the above it should be in a file with the path being:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh
make sure to chmod 755 samba.sh
Hope that helps you out.
