If smbd is being started as "nobody", (is that what "m6nobody" is?),
it will be unable to bind to a privileged port (tcp/139 in this case).

"nmbd" is apparently being started as root.  What's the "-d 999"
about?  According to the manpage for nmbd...

 -d <debug level>
      debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if
      this parameter is not specified is zero.
