You can start samba either as a daemon (samba start) or from inetd.

Comment out the 2 lines referring to smbd and nmbd in inetd.conf, then
"killall -1 inetd", "killall nmbd smbd".

Check there are no smbd and nmbd processes.

Then "samba start"

You should now see smbd and nmbd processses.

Then do smbclient -L hostname, and look at the samba logs.

If you still have problems set "log level = 5" or more in smb.conf,
restart samba, and see the logs.
