Thanks, Paul

I saw the samba was not in the latest version of OpenBSD (ver 3.4). Thus, I
downloaded from their web site samba-2.2.8a.tgz

 I loaded samba-2.2.8a.tgz file to /usr/local/samba onto the OpenBSD 3.4 box
that I just set up on the network.

>From /usr/local/samba on that server, I typed
 tar xvzf samba-2.2.8a.tgz

That seemed to put all of the files for samba into the correct location.

I will next try place into rc.local the following:

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

and see how that works.
