cct3000 was correct with his statement ..
Samba was not (correctly) installed ..

I've downloaded the Knoppix 6.2.1 DVD Image ...
and .. what i should see with samba-Installation was this ->

$: dpkg -l |grep -i samba

ii libwbclient0 2:3.4.5~dfsg-1 Samba winbind client library
iU samba 2:3.4.7~dfsg-2 SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
ii samba-common 2:3.4.5~dfsg-1 common files used by both the Samba server and cl
ii samba-common-bin 2:3.4.5~dfsg-1 common files used by both the Samba server and cl
ii smbfs 2:3.4.5~dfsg-1 Samba file system utilities
ii winbind 2:3.4.5~dfsg-1 Samba nameservice integration server

besides: the Startscript /etc/init.d/samba WAS missed (before) ..
and "smbd --version" brought an error ..

samba was not correctly installed .. // leading "iU" i think comes with an previous attempt
from me ..( i've done "apt-get install samba" ..)
but: with NO success because of this circumstance ->

as i looked at ftp.debian.org i got the information, that samba 3.4.5~dfsg is not longer listed ..
instead of this there was version 3.4.7~dfsg-2 ..

what i've done to get a clear situation ..
$: apt-get update # thats oblique to have correct archive-descriptions
$: apt-get -f install # fixes the problem !

after this .. the problem was solved ..
and i could configure samba (i took the configuration file from an
previous smb v3.2.5 and got success with this )

good Luck .. hope's this would help THIS Person's ..
who really have NO /etc/init.d/samba # (-> the startscript! )
