Please do not put statements like this in your post. We are not being paid for this service and we will reply to you when we can. Statements like yours are extremely irritating and won't get you replies any quicker.

For what it's worth, on my system there is no "smb" in /etc/init.d but there is /etc/init.d/samba

Perhaps that's what you need to try.

Might be a silly question - but do you actually have Samba installed? I'm using Fedora 10/11 (depending on machine) and I have the /etc/init.d/smb service sitting there.

What about under /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb?

when you use the following command what do you in the output

rpm -q samba

if you get the samba with the version then its installed

Applying this command gives me "samba is not installed" but when i use rpm -qa|grep samba ,,it gives me version.if u r saying samba is not installed then what steps should i take to install it. i am using samba-common 3.0 and i have installed it through rpm -ivh samba-common and it gives me 100% success.i dont know what to do.

okay did you try to find the smb.conf file or tried to start the samba daemon.
