chkconfig worked fine but only after I had logged on as root, rather than as 
Super user from my normal logon.  In the second case, I got "command not 
found".  I had also found this happened with ifconfig.  This doesn't happen 
with Mandrake which I had been using previously.

There was no "man service" file, and a service command (even when logged on as 
root) gave "command not found" - but having used chkdsk, Samba started on 
reboot so I no longer had a problem.
