 The simplest is to just run "smbd", but as a developer you may find
 the following more useful:
 
-   smbd -i -M single -d3
+   # smbd -i -M single -d3
 
 that means "start smbd without messages in stdout, and running a
 single process, with level 3 debugging". That mode of operation makes
 debugging smbd with gdb particularly easy.
 
+Note that now it is no longer necessary to have an instance of nmbd

 Make sure you put the bin and sbin directories from your new install
 in your $PATH. Make sure you run the right version!
