<para><command>install -d /var/cache/samba</command>: This directory is 
needed for proper operation of the <command>smbd</command> and 
<command>nmbd</command> daemons.</para>

<para><parameter>--prefix=/usr</parameter>: Sets the prefix for almost
all the file paths to <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>.</para>

<para><parameter>--sysconfdir=/etc</parameter>: Sets the configuration
file directory to avoid the default of <filename class="directory">/usr/etc</filename>.</para>

<para><parameter>--localstatedir=/var</parameter>: Sets the variable
data directory to avoid the default of <filename class="directory">/usr/var</filename>.</para>

compliant with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 
(<acronym>FHS</acronym>).</para>

<para><option>--with-smbmount</option>: Orders the creation of an extra 
binary for use by the <command>mount</command> command so that mounting remote 
<acronym>SMB</acronym> (Windows) shares becomes no more complex than mounting 
remote <acronym>NFS</acronym> shares.</para>

<para><command>install -m755 nsswitch/libnss_win{s,bind}.so /lib</command>:

winbindd for domain auth, and/or <acronym>WINS</acronym> name resolution, 
you need these libraries.</para> 

<para><command>ln -sf libnss_winbind.so /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2</command> 
and <command>ln -sf libnss_wins.so /lib/libnss_wins.so.2</command>:
These symlinks are required by glibc to use the nss libs.</para>

<para><command>cp ../examples/smb.conf.default /etc/samba</command>:
This copies a default <filename>smb.conf </filename>into
<filename>/etc/samba</filename>.  This sample configuration will not 
work unless edited for your site, and renamed 
<filename>smb.conf</filename>.</para>
