find / -iname smb\* -perm +x
Much more disk usage from the find command if you're going to be searching repeatedly, but if it's a one-off it's often a quicker solution than updating the updatedb for a few reasons:
You can abort it as soon as it's found the file you need
It will only return executable files (if you remember the optional -perm, it's not required)
It's a repeatable handy trick, works especially well when you're not dealing with searching the whole filesystem, but it sure does work.
Btw, I noticed Shawn's response was _real_ fast - as in before the original message? :)
Might want to check the time on your machine, JoJo, it appears to be about 5 mins 22 seconds fast.

cc: Subject: [TriLUG] Samba 3.0 install
I am installing the latest release of Samba in order to serve files ina WIndows 2003 domain.
So far I have
-tar-xvzf'ed the file
- ./configured --with-configdir=/etc --with--smbmount --with-lockdir=/var/lock
-I did a make and make install
-I did a testparm (no real syntax errors in smb.conf)
When I go to do a /usr/sbin/smbd -D it says that its not in there. When I l do a whereis smbd it doesnt show it as being anywhere. Is there somewhere I am not finding the startup for samba?
Any help?
