Nope; I'd say that
- killproc erronomeously kills the child first
- parent respawns a child
- parent gets killed, child remains
- killproc finds child -> failure
Checking by killing the child by hand seems to confirm this, as a child
gets started when I kill the existing child wheras all nmbd processes
are gone if I kill only the parent.
!! When the child was killed, the parent seems to stop reacting on
SIGTERM, needing KILL to be really killed; doing so leaves the child
that got started, which matches with what can be seen using the
un-altered sambe init script with "stop" !!

I'm tracking LFS development quite closely, so I use
LFS-Bootscripts-20070420 as in the current development book. I thought
this to be the actual version, but as you say you've made changes over
the last months, maybe you didn't roll a new release yet?

I'll do that. [waiting time ...] Yes, this works fine :).
Getting the pid from the nmbd.pid file, the killproc call kills the
parent, which terminates its child, too.

No extra daemon with using the nmbd.pid file.
Thanks for your help, once again.
