For smbd, I think the issue is the background print queue monitor.  nmbd
doesn't work to well from inetd, due to the multiple UDP ports etc.

The main point I'll make it that it just isn't tested very often.  That
said, it is nice not to have smbd in memory, if the machine may never
see a CIFS packet...
