smbd spawns

[Dan O'Connor]

Well, I don't know what or why you're getting the error, but as for multiple
smbd daemons:

Samba spawns a new smbd to handle each connection. The first smbd acts
similar to inetd, accepting a connection and then spawning a new daemon to
handle the SMB traffic.

Oh, and smbd runs as root, and needs root access...
