    I ran samba on OpenBSD for about two years. I never had a problem
    compiling it from source, without any modifications or having to add any
    --with or --enable statements with ./configure. To upgrade it, I just
    compiled and installed again, which replaced all the files with new ones.
    (Backup your smb.conf file first, obviously.)

    To run samba, just add a couple of lines to the
    rc.local file:

    /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
    /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D

    (Your path might be different. I believe this was the default install
    path.)

    That will run samba as a daemon that is started by init. Then the
    smb.conf file defines exactly what you want to do with samba.

    Never squat with your spurs on.
