[PLUG] nmbd constantly respawning

[Brian Horan]

/etc/modules.conf shouldn't start samba,
rc.samba might
/etc/inetd.conf might (but shouldn't)
/etc/xinetd.conf might (but shouldn't)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb might (on RatHed-ish systems .. i know you're using
a real linux, i just put that there in case)

In /var/log/syslog, nmbd is constantly respawning, erroring out because it is already running (from bootup) and inetd kills it. Then it happens again, about 8 times a minute. Any idea where I messed up? I have an extremely minimal smb.conf file, so I don't think that's it. And as I understand it, nmbd is the Netbios part of Samba, which should just sit and do nothing when no network is active.
