I'd guess instead that Kevin had initially gotten SAMBA to work by
installing from scratch, and then had upgraded it via an RPM.
Unfortunately, these two methods install to wildly different places!

So, I would -again guess - that Kevin's SWAT displays and configures
things, but that it doesn't actually *do* anything, because it's altering
all the wrong files.

As for the smb files being missing, which ones are they?  I'd guess that
they're there, just in different places.  Try running this command:

rpm -l samba (optionally with a "| less")

This will list out all the files that the samba rpm installs, including
any configuration files that come with it.  Does it have any in /etc?  Are
they there?

Hey, this is just a guess.  Am I right?
