[SLUG] RE: Neither smbd nor nmbd will start - log file entry is...

At this point neither nmbd nor smbd will run. They were listed as processes
on Friday after I added execute permission to rc.samba. nmbd and smbd have
rwx permissions for root. Rebooting this morning and they aren't in process
list, so:

Per Matt's instructions:

Ran smbd as root in full debug: /usr/sbin/smbd -d 10

/var/log/syslog has line: Jul 22 09:05:44 humphry inetd[74]: netbios-ns/udp
server failing (looping), service terminated

Ran nmbd as root in full debug as well - get exactly the same entry in
syslog

Complete search of drive yeilds no smbd.log file

/etc/inetd.conf has rw- permissions for root

I'm stumped. Many thanks for any help.

As root run smbd in full debug:

    # /usr/sbin/smbd -d 10

Check your samba logs -- possibly in /var/log/samba -- and syslog in
/var/log:

    # tail -f /var/log/samba/smbd.log
    # tail -f /var/log/syslog
