[Samba] AIX 4.3.3 smbd won't start

Hello,
I have just downloaded Samba 2.2.7.a and I have tried to set it up on 
AIX 4.3.3 and am not having luck.

Last week I installed samba on my linux machine and it works pretty 
well. The boss asked on Friday if I could set it up on my AIX machine.
I have samba installed in /usr/local/samba.
After running /usr/local/samba/smbd -D and /usr/local/samba/nmbd -D I 
can do this
        ps -aef | grep mbd and it only shows nmbd -D. On the linux box 
both items show up.

after typing in a simple smb.conf file like this below
    [global]
        workgroup = SIMPLE1
        code page directory = /var/ron_temp/usr/local/lib/codepages
        hosts allow = 192.42.nnn. 127.0.0.1 localhost

#       log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
        log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log
        log level = 3
        max log size = 50

[rondir]
        comment = For Testing only
        path = /var/ron_temp
        read only = no
        guest ok = yes

I then run smbclient -U% -L localhost and get the following error
 > smbclient -U% -L localhost
added interface ip=192.42.nnn.nnn bcast=192.42.nnn.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
error connecting to 127.0.0.1:139 (Connection refused)
Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused)
