    x x
    x samba-client-2.2.7 ALL x
    x @@R:samba-client-2.2.7 2.2.7 x
    x x
    x samba-common-2.2.7 ALL x
    x @@R:samba-common-2.2.7 2.2.7

    (2) Hunt around fruitlessly for the /opt/samba or /etc/samba directory and instead find some stuff under /opt/freeware.

    What do I do next ?

    Surely by now IBM have followed the other (non-linux) Unix vendors and provided full binary installs for Samba ? I seem to recall having to do make configures etc with Samba in the past but that was in the last century !!!
