This is what I see in linux when I have nmbd running as a stand alone daemon
with netstat -an | grep 137.
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:137             0.0.0.0:* 
There seems to be a process listening to port 137. Could that be
your inetd? Just for fun, stop inetd and see if you can start nmbd from the
command line. Or cancel out all references to nmbd in your inetd.conf file
and restart inetd.
