netbios-ns address already in use?

[Eloy A. Paris]

In the 1.9.18 series is normal t have two nmbd processes (when nmbd is
run it forks another nmbd. This is to prevent blocking DNS calls).
That's why you have two nmbd's.

Regarding your error message: are you sure you are not running nmbd as
a daemon? If running as a daemon then when inetd tries to run the nmbd
daemon it will fail, I think. If you are not running as daemon try
killing all the nmbd processes and start again.

Luck,

: server, right?  When I do a ps -fe |grep nmbd I see this:

: So, nmbd is already running... IF it is already running, why are these
: error showing up in the daemon.log file?

: I am running 1.9.18alpha11 on Digital Unix 4.0b
