Samba 2.0.7 Configuration Problem

Hello!

I installed Samba 2.07 on a system running Solaris 2.5.1 and have
tried to get a basic configuration to work properly.  However,
I have had problems getting both the smbd & nmbd daemons to
run.  When I start samba thru /etc/init.d/samba start, I wind
up starting the nmbd daemon, but smbd is not up.

# ps -ef | grep mb
    root 18996 17668  0 10:22:31 pts/0    0:00 grep mb
    root 18906     1  0 10:16:15 ?        0:00 /opt/samba/bin/nmbd -D -d 0
-l /var/opt/samba/log.nmb

There are both pid files for smbd.pid and nmbd.pid in
/var/opt/samba/locks. Yet, the logs (at level -3) appear to
show that nmbd tries to restart:

# tail -20 log.nmb

Yet, when I access the browser to check Samba, under Server Status,
the browser shows smbd being "up" but not "nmbd"?  What is
wrong with my configuration? Any info would help, and I kindly
thank you in advance.
