samba - Nov 2003 - running samba

I've installed the standard samba that comes with debian in the past. To
start samba manually you just have to run the command nmbd and smbd. But when I
compile and make samba 3 from source, to run samba I have to first go into the
directory nmbd and smbd is in and then type in ./nmbd and ./smbd. I have tried
to chmod a+x nmbd and chmod a+x smbd but this does not change the problem. I
want to be able to execute nmbd and smbd from any directory by just typing the
executable name in. How can this be done.

You will need to add these files to your PATH varible.
If you use csh:

If you use the BASH shell:

If you use something else, consult the manual for your Shell of choice.

For BASH, for example, I would need to run:
export PATH=$PATH:/my-path-to-compiled-samba-bin/
In my .bash_profile
	Good Luck,
