samba - Mar 2003 - Problem starting samba :/

Okay i have now installed samba from source (www.samba.org)  and have
done a ./configure
Make
Make install

But how do I start, I have tried to do a  /path/bin/smbd and the same
with nmbd ... but nothing seems to work  :/ it just dosent start.. what
am I not seeing ? :/

Thanks

There may be a startup script.  The binary likely is in /usr/local/samba/bin.
This is all I do in my startup script. 

#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
 start)        
  killall smbd
  killall nmbd
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D
  ;;

 stop)
  killall smbd
  killall nmbd
 ;;
 reload)
 kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid`
 kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/nmbd.pid`
 ;;
 *)
 echo Usage: 
 echo start stop reload
 ;;
esac
exit 0

Are you running as root?  smbd and nmbd fail silently if you are not
root.  This is mainly (only) due to the unix convention of only allowing
root to bind to ports <1024.
