[Samba] inetd & etc

1) When you run samba under inetd, samba has to be loaded everytime 
inetd hands off a connection.  Tons of overhead using this method.  When 
it runs as a stand alone daemon, it never unloads itself.

2) Gremlins.  Probably from the last solar eclipse, no wait!  From the 
last solar flare.  Cover the server in tin foil and it should fix the 
problem.  ( Note:  More details are needed before any diagnostic 
attempts are made )
