}Hi Mike,
} I had so much problem with samba
}When I do @sys$startup:samba_startup, I got the following message
}%DCL-W-INSFPRM, MISSING COMMAND PARAMETERS - SUPPLY ALL REQUIRED PARAMETERS
}%RUN -S-PROC_ID, IDENTIFICATION OF CREATE PROCESS IS 0000642A

This particular warning message is a red-herring. It has nothing to do
with your problems, as it is caused by a line in the
SYS$STARTUP:SAMBA_STARTUP.COM file whihc looks like this:

$ def samba_alternate_directory_protection

note that the DEF command is supposed to ahve 2 parameters, not one.
You can eliminate the warning message by chaniung the line to read:

$ def samba_alternate_directory_protection TRUE

or, perhaps a better option considering what having the logical name
defined does, comment out that line.

The "%RUN-S-PROC_ID" message indicates that the NMBD process is started
successfully (which, unfortunately, does not mean that SAMBA will actually
work as intended).
