I just sent Peter the following evidence:

: ps gawux | grep nmbd
jc    16735  0.0  2.3  102  348 ppa S  20:45 0:00 grep nmbd
root  16732  0.9  2.9   87  440  ?  S  20:45   0:00 /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D

So it looks like nmbd is running.  Similarly, smbd  is  also  running.
They  are getting started from an /etc/startsmb script.  I haven't yet
seen any hints that inetd could do the job, and there's no instance of
"smb"  in /etc/inetd.conf, so I guess it isn't being started that way.
I have to remember to run /etc/startsmb after a boot, which is ok  for
now  because there's nothing that depends on it (since there's nothing
that deigns to talk to it on the W95 machine ;-).

Any other clues that I should check out?
