OK fair enough but then there's a problem with "service smb stop" that cannot handle this 2nd nmbd process correctly. # service smb start Starting SMB services: [OK] Starting NMB services: [OK] # service smb status smbd (pid 4094) is running... nmbd (pid 4105) is running... 4104 (pid ) is running... # service smb stop Shutting down SMB services: [OK] Shutting down NMB services: /etc/init.d/smb: line 253: kill: (4105) No such process # service smb status smbd is stopped nmbd (pid 4180) is running... /Fred
