thats not the whole truth ..
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! )
greetings, fred

Working Solution
Greetings all, here is a working solution and yes, a complete Samba is not installed on the current Knoppix 6.2.1 DVD
To use Samba with Knoppix 6.2.1 perform the following tasks:
Download the Knoppix 6.2.1 DVD and burn it, then boot a machine from it
Use the flash-knoppix app to create a boot usb thumb drive - an 8 GB drive will more than suffice
It will take a while to copy knoppix to the thumb drive and it may seem like it is hanging on 99% completed for a long time - just be patient, it will complete
Boot into knoppix using the new thumb drive - knoppix will ask you if you want to create some space for saved files and if so how much - choose the rest of the available space, choose encrypted or unencrypted to suit your needs. Creating saved space will also take a while - be patient
Once that task is completed, download the latest tgz archived version of Samba from samba.org
As root, configure Samba to install under /UNIONFS/usr/local/samba and make make install
Once installed, edit the /UNIONFS/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf to suit your needs
Start Samba as a daemon
/UNIONFS/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D -s /UNIONFS/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
Start nmbd only if you need it - I don't so there is no need to start it up
Samba installed via this method will remain persistent on your knoppix thumb drive - you can likely configure it to start on boot - but I see no need to do this as Samba, or any unneeded service, should definitely not be started on Knoppix unless absolutely required.
Enjoy!
