port 139 is the netbios session port (the one which is used for file/print service, *not* the one used for netbios name service). You must comment out the line in /etc/inetd.conf which starts smbd. inetd is listening on this port. Back to your original question of how you could kill samba, I'm wondering what your real intent is. Is your contention that "no file/print service is being used, so why is this smbd process around?" The answer there is: win95 likes to keep connections around. Is your contention "hey, I don't want to be offering samba shares to the internet!" You can use the "interfaces" option to smbd.conf to change what IP interface smbd will listen on. Then you just have to worry about IP spoofing. If you just want to get rid of samba, look for all the lines in /etc/inetd.conf which start with "netbios-" and comment/remove them. Then type 'killall -HUP inetd'. No need to reboot. -- Jens B.
