There are two ways in which nmbd/smbd can be invoked -

1) Through /etc/inetd.conf
2) As a daemon thru /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba

You cannot have it running both ways. In your case it looks like nmbd is
enabled in /etc/inetd.conf. Since the port is already in use, nmbd fails to
start in daemon mode.

Solution -

Either start nmbd/smbd through inetd or as a daemon (preferred) and not
both.

Comment the line which have reference to smbd and nmbd in inetd.conf and
restart the inetd and samba daemon.
