Miguel,


> "bash: smtpd: command not found" 


	The message means the shell can't find the executable in the list of 
directories stored in the $PATH variable.  (See your .bash_profile and 
/etc/profile for example...)  Type "echo $PATH" at the shell prompt and see 
if the directory you are trying to find is contained in the path.  If it is 
not there, then type the complete path to the executable and try that.  

	Usually in *nix environments the current directory is not part of the 
path... it was originally designed that way for security reasons, but now I 
think it is more of a holdover from the "old days"...    To execute a program 
in the current directory, type ./ (dot slash) in front of the desired 
command.  For example:  #  ./smtpd start


Good luck,

Ben
