I'm not sure about Debian. Some Linuxes use BSD style initialization 
like RH, YDL and Mac OS X. Others use Sys V style. Look at the Second 
Edition of "Using Samba" which is available on line at Samba.org. There 
are scripts in there work for both BSD and System V style except that 
with Samba 3 some things got moved to /usr/sbin/ that Using Samba 
thinks are in /usr/bin/. This whole thing was complicated enough that I 
got it working on a few systems and then burned a CD with scripts.
