Personally I think that running samba out of inetd is a bad idea in
general.
Just make samba4 run in single mode, so that it does not spawn more
process and disable the subsystems you don't need and you achieve almost
the same goal as having it running from inetd.

Is there any other reason to run something off of inetd besides a
perceived save of resources?

Simo.
