Running the samba daemons under daemontools?

[Jos Backus]

Are there any plans to make it possible to run {n,s}mbd under Dan Bernstein's
daemontools package? (see http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html for details) This
would require adding a new flag wich tells {n,s}mdb not to background
themselves but still listen for connections.

Here's a patch:
