NMBD

Hi,

I'm new to samba and linux and maybe I have a stupid question.  I'm
running samba server 2.0.5a on linux (debian 2.1, kernel 2.0.36).  Samba
server works OK but after compiling kernel (is it the cause??)  I got
this message in nmb log file:

-------------

Last message is repeated every 3 minutes.  Exactly, this message doesn't
always appear just after nmbd starting. 

What's happening?  Any suggestions are appreciated.

nmbd and smbd are running as meta-demons from inetd:

netbios-ssn     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/smbd
netbios-ns      dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/nmbd -a
