Hi All,
Used pware packaged version 3.5.8.0 from http://pware.hvcc.edu/ with all
appropriate pware61 filesets.

nmbd process wouldn't start and received the following error in
the /var/log/samba/log.nmbd.

[2011/08/02 12:56:49.162945,  0] lib/util_sock.c:875(open_socket_in)
  bind failed on port 137 socket_addr = 172.20.95.239.
  Error = The socket name is not available on this system.
[2011/08/02 12:56:49.163276,  0] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:118(make_subnet)
  nmbd_subnetdb:make_subnet()
    Failed to open nmb bcast socket on interface 172.20.95.239 for port
137.  Error was The socket name is not available on this system.

Testing:
Uninstalled 3.5.8.0 with all pware61 filesets, then installed 3.5.8.1 with
all required pware53 filesets and no problem starting nmbd.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
