smbd and nmbd are NOT USER-LEVEL APPLICATIONS. They're
configure-and-forget system services. Do you know where the messenger
service in Windows (NT|2K|XP) is installed?

Go look in /etc/init.d/, there should be a startup script that knows
where these services are. SWAT will be started in xinetd
(/etc/xinetd.d/).

And rpm will tell you where things are installed, if you give it the
right set of parameters. I suspect that if you give it the right set
of parameters and /path/to/filename, it will even tell you which
package that file belongs to.

And no, I don't know what the switches are off-hand. You'll have to
read the docs...
