All third-party s/w not actively maintained by the developers goes
into /usr/local; the only exception being XFree86, which goes into
/usr/X11R6. If you use the ports system to build your software,
all the components will end up in the `correct' places:
# cd /usr/ports/net/samba
# make && make install
