nope. it's started via an init script. i tried running via xinetd also.
i forgot to mention that. in the beginning i suspected it's a problem
with nmbd only. i configured nmbd to start from xinetd. that worked.
i could kill nmbd and it always came back up without problems. except
... in the morning, nmbd did not die but simply did not react anymore.
After i killed it smbd died. After both were restarted things worked ok
until the next morning.

nope. it's just trying to process a login script. But usually it can
not locate the PDC because nmbd is dead .... only in the morning of
course. No way to reproduce the problem during the day.
