NMBD is a name server.  It only does translations between LANMAN names
and I.P. addresses.  It has nothing to do with file security.

The access denied error can come from many problems with opening the file.

The debug level is set the same way in 2.0.6.  In the SAMBA (unix)
source kit, there should be complete manuals in HTML and possibly other 
formats.

A manual set should also be available directly from your local mirror of 
http://www.samba.org

This is explained in the readme files for all versions of SAMBA for OpenVMS.

By defining the logical SAMBA_NMBD_OPTIONS to be the string of options 
that you want passed to the detached process.
