Samba installation - "execvp - permission denied" problem - Plz help

[vishal srivastava]

Hi there,
   I have installed samba-2.2.2 on Redhat linux 7.0 . I have setup the whole 
server properly and have run the ./configure, make and make install commands 
successfully. I have even written a basic smb.conf file which is located in 
/etc/samba . The testparm on the conf file shows no errors. i have checked 
the /etc/services file for the netbios services and they are all done 
properly

But when I try to start the smbd server I get the following error. Please 
tell me where I am wrong.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
[root at redhat lock]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
