Samba question

Ok, seems like my samba installation isnt so good as i expected in my
Mandrake 9.1. In fact, Samba is the only thing that is wrong, all the rest
is very ok.
First of all there is no swat active, the files are spreading all around the
HD (something in etc, something in usr/bin, something in usr/share,
something here, something there...) so i uninstall it and go to install
2.2.8a that i've found on a CD.
I suppose that i have to put the .bin file somewhere and from there start
the installation.
The question is: where is the best place where to start installation and
have smb installed?
Or it's absolutely not important?
Does Samba 2.2.8 spread his files around too or maybe there will be only 1-2
directory for smbpasswd, smdusers, smb.conf etc.?

Tnx
Roy

Sounds like you are used to MS Windows. This spreading is quite
normal. In /etc is your config file smb.conf in /usr/bin are binaries
and documentation is commonly in /usr/share.
Even Samba 3 will spread around the HD. Go to http://www.samba.org and
read the docu.
See you
