I removed xinetd's files for netbios-ns and netbios-ssn, started nmbd 
and smbd and they are running.  Oddly enough, I created the netbios-ns 
and netbios-ssn files for xinetd as per instructions from Jerry Carter's 
book "Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours".  Why would that book tell me to 
do something that breaks Samba?

Anyway...

I did an smbstatus, got error message "Failed to open byte range locking 
database", fixed it by using command "smbclient -L localhost".

I went to a Win98 machine, did a "net view \\linux-computer-name" and 
received an Error 53 message from Windows "The computer name in the 
network path cannot be located."  Yet I can ping linux-computer-name by 
name from the Win98 box.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
