Read article from Me... SAMBA "IS" on the system... Really... It was hard to Me to get it working, but if You follow My instructions, You will be happy with Your SAMBA... But, don't forget to "play" with the config file... Sometimes it is very useful to make some modifications by Yourself, and see what happens...
If You do something Yourself, You never forget it. That is true.

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!
