=>Hi all,
=>
=>I had samba installed with RedHat 6.2. When I made it running by
=>updating inetd.conf, services, smb.conf as instructed in the man of
=>smbd, smbd always failed to start up with the last message:
=>  bind failed on port 139. socket_addr=0.0.0.0 (Address already in use)

[snip]

...my /etc/inetd.conf

# Enable the following two entries to enable samba startup from inetd
# (from the Samba documentation).
#
#netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/smbd smbd
#netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/sbin/nmbd nmbd
.

See, I did not enable them. Run Samba from /rc.d or whatever it is called
in Linux....
