samba - Jan 2002 - extending path

Hi,

caused by the complete crash of my former Gateway (including SAMBA) I had to
install a completely new system.
I decided NOT to install the (old) Samba 2.2.1 which comes with my
distribution (SuSE 7.3), but to download and install the new 2.2.2 as this
one is needed for Domain-Logons from W2k-clients.
Everything worked fine, I wrote my smb.conf and checked with testparm,
everything okay.
Well, using testparm was a little bit difficult, *cause I'm not used to have
to change my current path or to start a script using the complete path to
the script.
During the installation of Samba 2.2.2 the path to the binaries
(usr/local/samba/lib) seems to NOT have been included in the PATH.
Simple question from someone who is used to have a completely running and
full configured system: How do I include "/usr/local/samba/bin/" to my
PATH
? One workaround coming to my mind is to make symbolic links to the
samba-binaries in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin, but there must be a better way.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Anyone doing this?

I have a server about 4 hops away from the machine I want to connect with.
Its using windows 98.  I tried net use x: \\IPADDRESS\share and that didn't
work (nor does the domain).

I'm using a netgear RT314

I should note that I can connect if I use a straight through connection  and
not a NAT. Ideally I'd like to be able to connect using all the machines
behind the NAT. Is that even possible?
