Help me interpret error messages

[Matthew Foust]

Well, I figured my problem out.  It is due to the Solaris 2.0.7 binary packages created by thewrittenword.com.  If you read the README, it explains that it adds startup scripts to /etc/init.d and /etc/rc2.d as well as appending the /etc/inetd.conf file.  Obviously, you want to choose only one of these.  I had both, hence the errors that follow.

inetd is not the preferred way to run nmbd.

Can anyone tell me what the following messages indicate????  Everything seems to be working fine, but these errors are continually being written to /var/adm/messages.  We are running Solaris 2.6.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
