Bob, I never configured Samab to run from xinetd, but I did configure it to run from inetd in the old days and everything worked just fine. I don't see why it shouldn't work with xinetd too. Your guess is correct. The daemons won't be running unless a client tries to use them via a socket connection. At that point, xinetd will launch the smbd and nmbd processes if the whole thing is configured right. -- Nitebirdz Mozilla--> http://www.mozilla.org/ Linux XFS--> http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
