You should only need one copy of nmbd. Now, to make two smbd, you are
going to have to do something along the lines of using IP aliasing, and
binding each copy of smbd to a specific interface. Otherwise, when you
try to start the other copy of smbd, it will error out with a port already
in use error. Two copies of smbd can not share the same port, and if you
run on copy on a different port, windows will not find it. The default
setting will have smbd and nmbd using port 137 and 139 on all interfaces.
