and presumably the command "which smbd" also returns /usr/local/samba/
sbin/

Try typing "/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd" (no quotes when you type it)
from your home directory, or if you go to /usr/local/samba.sbin/ then
try "./smbd" (again, no quotes). The dot-slash means, essentially,
"right here, in this directory"

I suppose you can have smbd failing to start if you have a bad
configuration file, or incorrect permission, although in my
experience samba comes with a default that at least launches.

Ultimately you'll want an init file that launches samba when you boot
up. Something in /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d (depends on what your
operating system is.)
