>Description:
When /var/run is of filesystem type "tmpfs", port net/samba3[56] fail to startup since the PID file is created as /var/run/samba/xxx.pid in folder /var/run/samba/. Since the startup script located in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ does not check for the existence of the folder and creates the folder samba in root folder /var/run, the PID file can not be created since the target folder is missing. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Use /var/run as filesystem-type tmpfs, install port net/samba36 (or net/samba/35) adn try to start service via command

service samba36 start


>Fix:
Apply the attached changes to the port's file files/samba.in.
