smbd and nmbd can run from inetd or in daemon mode. inetd is slower but uses less ram. Running as daemons is faster, but resource useage is greater.
I run it as a daemon, and it looks like you do too. ---------- From: Brian Stults[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 15 June 2000 9:17 AM To: debian Subject: samba auto-unloads There are entries in my inetd.conf like this: #:OTHER: Other services #<off># netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/smbd #<off># netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nmbd -a But it appears they are commented out. I also have the standard startup script in /etc/init.d for samba. I sifted through the SMB-HOWTO, but couldn't find reference to this. Can someone help?
