Howto install Samba 2.0.4b on SuSE Linux 6.1
1. Download it
2. unpack the file: # tar xvfz samba-2_0_4b_tar.gz
3. change to directory /samba-2.0.4b/source
4. ./configure
5. make
6. now the shit is that in SuSE the files are on the wrong place - don�t worry!!!
7. change to /usr/local/local/samba/bin here are the new files!
8. change to /usr/bin and delete all old samba files: smbd, nmbd ...
9. then you have to make symbolic links # ln -s /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd /usr/bin
10. do it with all files and restart samba # /etc/rc.d-init.d/smb restart
11. IMPORTANT: make symbolic links for ALL samba files specially for smb.conf in /etc

ln -s /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd /usr/bin and /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd /etc
