If you don't know what srvsvcd (and other daemons) is, then you'd better
use the the stable release of samba (2.0.5 or 2.0.6).
What you are using is a developer version.

You don't say what os you are on, from the log it appears to be a linux
box, so look in the linux cdrom for the samba packages.

Or maybe you just replaced the standard /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb script with
a new one? If so, then get the old one asap.
