samba and inetd problems

[Ron Alexander]

It looks like it is the Stratus firewall, but I am not positive. I am
getting mixed results and confusing myself. Since the firewall people won't
be in till Mon., I am stuck.

I will post my findings on Mon.

Regards,
Ron

No problem - anything to spread Samba around! Except perhaps making it
into a VBS script and e-mailing it... :)

I should be able to identify whether or not they are the problem, anyway.
The easiest way to test would be to try connecting to the smbd or nmbd
ports on your NT box, from the Stratus ("telnet nt.box.hostname *" where *
is the port you want). If that can't connect, you know the packets are
getting blocked out.
