If you run it as daemon it is always running in the background. If you run from inetd it is only started when access to an SMB port is requested. The inetd process (The internet superserver) handles this. Control of inetd is in the file /etc/inetd.conf. Read the inetd.conf manpage for more information.
If you are running Samba in daemon mode you can restart it from your startup scripts. For samba it is: /etc/init.d/samba For any of the scripts in /etc/init.d you can call start, stop, restart (and a few others). So to restart Samba do: # /etc/init.d/samba restart Greg On Mon, 25 Jun 2001, Juan wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to restart it ... > Which is the difference between running it as Daemon or Inetd? > > TIA, > > > Juan José Velázquez Garcia > Web Development > www.htmlspider.com.br > > > -- Greg Rowe Paranoia is a virtue. http://www.therowes.net
