I believe this documentation is for non-Debian distros. If you installed samba using
apt-get or dselect, this should be taken care of for you already. It will be in the
samba startup script. Look in /etc/rc2.d/S[whatever]samba; you might not find the
exact lines as above, but you will find the lines which accomplish the same thing.
