can't restart samba manually

I have installed SUSE 10.0
I am connected as root. In console mode, when i type the following:
>cd /etc/init.d
>samba restart
i get the following message:
bash: samba: command not found

Also, when i try to access a pc with windows i get the following
error in konqueror:
smb protocol not supported.

There are two issues here.

Firstly you cant just do:

Code:

---

cd /etc/init.d
samba restart

---

because the current path (.) is not included in the 'PATH' variable by default. To solve this, either add '.:' to the start of your path (unwise, and not recommended) or specify the app by leading with the dot or full path, i.e.:

Code:

---

cd /etc/init.d
./samba restart

---

OR

Code:

---

/etc/init.d/samba restart

---

The second issue isn't connected to the first; this one is to do with samba client support, which you dont seem to have installed. Using your package manger, find a package called "samba-client" or "smb-client" and install it; it should cure all these woes that you're suffering with konqueror.
