Comments:       Includes LinNeighborhood-0.65 patched for samba-3
                samba-3 expects to find smb.conf in /etc/samba-3 so:
                $ sudo mkdir /etc/samba-3
                $ sudo cp /opt/samba-3/etc/smb.conf.example /etc/samba-3/smb.conf
                ...and then edit /etc/samba-3/smb.conf to suit your setup
                Depending on what you want to do with samba-3, you may need some/all of:
                $ sudo mkdir /var/private [and add directory to backup to save samba passwords]
                $ sudo mkdir /var/locks [permissions dsl.staff?]
                [use touch /var/spool/locks/placeholder & add to filetool.lst if required]
                $ sudo mkdir /var/spool/samba
                [use touch /var/spool/samba/placeholder & add to filetool.lst if required]
                $ sudo chown -R dsl /var/spool/samba 
                $ chgrp -R staff /var/spool/samba
                $ chmod 0777 /var/spool/samba
                $ chmod o+t /var/spool/samba

                To mount a windows share:
                $ export PATH=/opt/samba-3/bin:/opt/samba-3/sbin:$PATH
                $ sudo mkdir /home/dsl/mnt/Public
                $ sudo mount.smbfs //JUANITO/Public /home/dsl/mnt/Public -o user=juanito
                or
                $ sudo mount.smbfs //192.168.1.110/Public /home/dsl/mnt/Public -o user=juanito
                or  
                $ sudo mkdir /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/fs/cifs
                $ sudo cp ../cifs.o /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/fs/cifs
                $ sudo insmod cifs
                $ sudo mount.cifs //192.168.1.110/Public /home/dsl/mnt/Public -o user=juanito

                To make a windows shared printer available to dsl in conjunction with the hplip extension:
                $ export PATH=/opt/hplip/bin:/opt/hplip/sbin:$PATH
                $ sudo lpadmin -p OfficeJetG85w2k -v smb://username:password@JUANITO/OfficeJetG85 -P /opt/ppd/HP/HP-OfficeJet_G85-hpijs.ppd.gz
                ...note that you may need to modify the printer via the cups admin browswer interface.

                To make a dsl shared printer & drivers available to windows in conjunction with the hplip extension:
                see http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netsysm/article.php/3621876
                change smb.conf 'security = share' --> 'security = user'
                $ sudo /opt/samba-3/sbin/smbd restart
                $ sudo /opt/samba-3/sbin/nmbd restart
                $ /opt/hplip/sbin/cupsaddsmb -H localhost -U root -a -v
                use network neighbourhood to scan for the printer in w2k, winxp
                double-click on printer icon to install printer & drivers (you might need root password)
                change smb.conf 'security = user' --> 'security = share'
                $ sudo /opt/samba-3/sbin/smbd restart
                $ sudo /opt/samba-3/sbin/nmbd restart
                now you should be able to print to your dsl printer from windows                
                ...it works - really
                Note:
                Samba will not start on it's own, you could add the following to bootlocal.sh
                /opt/samba-3/sbin/smbd start
                /opt/samba-3/sbin/nmbd start
