samba - Mar 2001 - smbd must have effective user id of zero to run?

I couldn't get samba to run on my system, after launching smbd in
debuging mode I got:

dadecal@tramontana:/usr/local/samba/bin$ ./smbd -d 10
./smbd: Version 2.2.0-alpha2 : Must have effective user id of zero to
run.

What is this about?

You must be root to start smbd or nmbd 'casue they bind 
to priviledged ports.

This means that you were trying to launch the Samba daemon as a user -
dadecal - rather than as root, which is required.
