CentOS 6.4 appears to have been shipped with a broken Samba 3.6. The new NMBDSOCKETDIR option defaults to /var/nmbd, which of course is an invalid directory and should not be created[1]. While hopefully they can fix it with an option to their configure script at build time, could Samba itself provide better defaults so that new options like this don't take OS developers by surprise?
