netbios-ssn/tcp: unknown service

[Michael St. Laurent]

The problem is likely to be that your argument list in inetd.conf is too
long.  There is a length limit that is easily exceeded.  See if you can get
by with just the -s to tell where your config file is located and do the
rest in the config file instead.
