Extreme Samba Newbie needs more help

Tom Syroid was kind enough to answer my first question. I had some really
weird errors and he told me to uninstall the samba that I had compiled on my
own and reinstall the samba.tgz that came with slackware 7.1 which is what I
am running. I did so, and the weird errors no longer occur. Instead when I
try:
root at vader82:/# smbclient -L localhost
added interface ip=192.168.0.1 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
error connecting to 127.0.0.1:139 (Connection refused)
Connection to localhost failed
Not good. He said it should work almost out of the box with only slight
changes to smb.conf. I managed to get SWAT working, and so created a
smb.conf file. What I have though to be most interesting is that samba
doesn't appear on ps x or ps ax.

this is the script that starts samba up when I boot my machine, and smbd and
nmbd are both where they should be.
root at vader82:/etc/rc.d# more rc.samba
#
# rc.samba: Start the samba server
#
if [ -x /usr/sbin/smbd -a -x /usr/sbin/nmbd ]; then
echo "Starting Samba..."
/usr/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/sbin/nmbd -D
fi
here is my smb.conf file:
root at vader82:/etc# more smb.conf
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from SirLancelot (192.168.0.2)
# Date: 2001/04/14 13:52:13
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = CAMELOT
netbios name = KINGARTHUR
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24
preferred master = Yes
[msandford]
comment = Mikes Directory
path = /home/msandford/
writeable = Yes
I saw one other message like this posted in the archives which I have looked
through pretty thoroughly. There was no reply to the message, much to my
dismay. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Not only will
I be able to use samba, but I will be able to tell 3 of my friends from
school who say that samba is impossible to make work that they are wrong.
Thank You,
Michael Sandford
