Andrew,

I assume by this message that you are starting nmbd with inetd. This is
not
recommended for a server and this is probably why you experiencing the
hang-up
messages. I suggest you run Samba as stand alone daemons with an RC
start-up script
or similar. There is an example script that comes in the source
directory. If this
is not the case could you post any details about your config. Explicitly
any compile
time flags, smb.conf. (Also possibly your services file, I assume you
haven't 
installed Solaris PC Nettling or the like as well).

Anyway I think the first suggestion will solve your problem.

Scott.
