By default a normal user on Debian gets this PATH:

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

'root' gets this one:

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

So, when you reset PATH with $PATH at the start, as shown above, you 
will get this:

normal user:

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/usr/local/samba/bin:/usr/local/samba/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

'root':

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/samba/bin:/usr/local/samba/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

Doing this will lead to any Samba binaries from OS packages being used 
first e.g. Debian puts smbd into /usr/sbin/

To get your compiled version of smbd used first, you need to set PATH 
like this:

PATH="/usr/local/samba/bin:/usr/local/samba/sbin:$PATH"

This will lead to:

normal user:

/usr/local/samba/bin:/usr/local/samba/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

'root':

/usr/local/samba/bin:/usr/local/samba/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
