That looks like the stock init file - but it might be a good idea to run 'rpm -V samba' to see if everything is standard. Running the init script with 'sh -x' might give you a hint about what it is doing - or you'll have to figure out a way to strace the startup with output still
Curiously "sh -x smb" (evoked in the /etc/init.d dir) starts it just fine (but with no trace output). So does "sh smb". But "./smb" does not - only starts nmbd, despite getting an OK out of both.
Figuring how to tie strace to this is beyond my skills.
