If you are using samba.org-built binaries, you should uninstall all your
samba RPMs, then install the samba.org binary. Alternatively, you
distributor might provide their own binaries of samba.

It seems like you are trying to start the samba service using the pam
(pluggable authenitcation modules) configuration file, which will not work.

This looks very much like configuration lines from a pam configuration file.

Those permissions are correct for pam. Start-up scripts in
/etc/rc.d/init.d would need to be executeable (I am assuming that is
what you meant by chmod'ing samba  - you didn't specify how you chmod'ed
it).

You should be starting samba by doing:
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start

or

# service smb start
