#Starting from inetd.conf
#Note:The following will be different if you use NIS, NIS+, or LDAP to distribute services maps.

#Look at your /etc/services. What is defined at port 139/tcp? If nothing is defined, then add a line #like this:

#netbios-ssn     139/tcp

#Similarly for 137/udp, you should have an entry like:

#netbios-ns 137/udp

#Next, edit your /etc/inetd.conf and add two lines like this:

#netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd smbd
#netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd nmbd

Restart inetd, perhaps just send it a HUP, like this:

#Restart inetd
killall -HUP inetd

#Alternative: Starting smbd as a Daemon

##To start the server as a daemon, you should create a script something like this one, perhaps calling #it startsmb.

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/local/samba/sbin/winbindd -D
/usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -D

##Make it executable with chmod +x startsmb.

#You can then run startsmb by hand or execute it from /etc/rc.local.

#To kill it, send a kill signal to the processes nmbd and smbd.
