[Samba] Slackware 8 and Samba

[Jason Stewart]

If I recall correctly, smbd is in /etc/inetd.conf in Slackware 8. This 
could cause samba services to start up when inetd starts, and that would 
explain why you are getting a EADDRINUSE (Address already in use) error. 
Inetd could be starting smbd and binding port 139 at startup. You would not 
see smbd in your process tree, because it would be running under inetd.

That's my theory anyway.

Good Luck ,
