SUMMARY: netbios-ns address already in use?

[Tim Winders]

My original message follows...

Well, it would seem that my problem was that nmbd was somehow running as a
daemon.  Looking at the process IDs the first nmbd had a parent process of
1, not as the ID of inetd.  I don't know HOW that happened, the only place
nmbd is referenced is inetd.conf.  I killed the main nmbd process, sent a
HUP signal to inetd, nmbd started again and I haven't had a problem in
over 5 hours (where I was getting the message every 10 minutes before).
So, I guess everything is now OK.  Strange...
