Samba is working but I have a message in log.nmbd that concerns me.
It reads like an error message. I am unable so far to
find out what it means. Can someone help?

1.
The message in log.nmdb is as follows:
 
[2003/07/13 21:55:49, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(794)
  Netbios nameserver version 2.2.7a started.

The file log.smbd looks fine.

My configuration is as follows:

3a.
I have two P4 computers. One (Beachparty) runs Windows XP Pro; 
the other (Halibut) runs RedHat 9.
The network is a peer-to-peer workgroup. I have not enabled Samba for
WINS.

3b.
I am using the Samba that came with the RedHat distribution.
The RedHat kernel is 2.4.20-8. The Samba is 2.27a-9.0. 

3c.
My smb.conf is as follows:

<start smb.conf>
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from Halibut (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2003/07/05 13:13:53

# Global parameters
[global]
 workgroup = SANDDOLLAR
 netbios name = HALIBUT
 server string = Samba Server (Version 2.2.7a)
security = USER
encrypt passwords = Yes


[goofyted]
 comment = export share from /home/ted on halibut
 path = /home/ted/goofy
 read only = No
 guest ok = Yes
 public = Yes

[mickey]
 path = /home/lory/mickey
 guest ok = Yes
<end smb.conf>

I start up Samba on Halibut as 
    /usr/sbin/smbd -D
    /usr/sbin/nmbd -D

3d.
I can mount Windows shares with smbmount. I can map a Windows drive to
an exported 
Samba share. smbclient works. 

4.
So far I have detected no problems but this strange
message bothers me.
