I entered that command in Konsol on the K desktop.  I got 'cannot find smb
service' as a response.  Also, I did a file search in Konqueror for *nmbd*
and *smbd* and found no matches.  It doesn't look like Samba is installed.
I'll try to get it downloaded and installed.  Hopefully that won't turn into
another adventure!
