Weird question. The binaries are in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin/, the
configuration files are in /etc/, the log files are in /var/log/samba/.
And the installation files are on your mandrake cdrom.
Mandrake/RPMS/samba* files.

It's a service. You can start or stop it with the script
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb
And you can include it in your runlevel configuration.

The only configuration file is /etc/smb.conf (cfr man smb.conf and
smb-HOWTO)
