I get the following messages at startup; Aug 20 23:59:46 kongemord nmbd[284]: [2003/08/20 23:59:46, 0] nmbd/asyncdns.c:st art_async_dns(148) Aug 20 23:59:46 kongemord nmbd[284]: started asyncdns process 286 Aug 20 23:59:46 kongemord nmbd[284]: [2003/08/20 23:59:46, 0] lib/util_sock.c:op en_socket_in(804) Aug 20 23:59:46 kongemord nmbd[284]: bind failed on port 137 socket_addr = 0.0 .0.0.

I would get similar messages for smbd, but I've configured it to bind only to the internal interface. sockstat shows root nmbd 361 0 udp4 *:137 *:* ... root inetd 203 5 udp4 *:137 *:* (My firewall blocks external CIFS connections, BTW.) Samba works fine, so this doesn't seem to be a problem. But I'm puzzled, probably because I don't know much about this. I'm guessing that the error message occurs because inetd got to the port first. But I thought that binding to a port was a prerequesite for listening at the port. So if binding failed, why is nmbd listening at *:137? And why are both nmdb and inetd listening at the same port? I thought you could have only one process listening at a port.
