The two SMB daemons are /usr/sbin/smbd and /usr/sbin/nmbd. Under most Linux distributions, these are started, stoped and restarted via the startup script located in /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb and symlinked to the appropriate runlevels. .:: ww88mzcom.yoo.bio ::.
If you choose not to use the standard startup script, you can run the Samba daemons from inetd or as stand-alone processes. Samba will respond slightly faster as a standalone daemon than running from inetd. .:: telegra.ph ::.
In either case, you should check the file /etc/services for lines that look like this: .:: podcasts.apple.com ::.
netbios-ns 137/tcp nbns
netbios-ns 137/udp nbns
netbios-dgm 138/tcp nbdgm
netbios-dgm 138/udp nbdgm
netbios-ssn 139/tcp nbssn
Make sure they are all uncommented. Depending on your distribution, you may even need to add them. Samba will not be able to bind to the appropriate ports unless /etc/services has these entries. [StackOverflow: Graph theory]
To run the daemons from inetd, place the following lines in the inetd configuration file, /etc/inetd.conf: [Flask History] .:: med.jax.ufl.edu ::.
# SAMBA NetBIOS services (for PC file and print sharing)
netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/smbd smbd
netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/nmbd nmbd
Then restart the inetd daemon by running the command:
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
To run the daemons from the system startup scripts, put the following script in file called /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb (for most distributions) and symbolically link it to the files specified in the comments: .:: mx.pinterest.com ::.
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb - starts and stops SMB services.
#
# The following files should be synbolic links to this file:
# symlinks: /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K35smb (Kills SMB services on shutdown)
# /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91smb (Starts SMB services in multiuser mode)
# /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K35smb (Kills SMB services on reboot)
#
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in

echo -n "Starting SMB services: "

If when starting Samba you get an error that says something about the daemon failing to bind to port 139, then you probably have another Samba process already running that hasn't yet shut down. Check a process list (with 'ps auxww | grep mbd') to determine if another Samba service is running. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::.
