As I recall, this isn't recommended, especially for nmbd. The whole
NetBIOS suite of protocols confuses me at the best of times, but I
believe you can get major browsing problems if your nmbd isn't
persistent. smbd is a little more up in the air, I admit.
As the old joke goes, I'd recommend "So don't do that." Just run smbd
and nmbd with "-D" at boot.

>From what I understand of the Unix sockets paradigm, you can't get the
functionality of "interfaces=" if you're running from inetd, because
you "interfaces=" specifies what ports you bind to, but if you're using
inetd, you aren't binding ports at all. (inetd is binding them.)

Don' know nothin' about how *that* got in there. It is interesting, no
question about it.
