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.
