I've revved up my patches to run all SAMBA daemons (nmbd, smbd, and
winbindd) under daemontools. The patches add -F and -S options
to each of those daemons, which make them run the foreground, and
log to stdout respectively. Documentation, in the form of patches to
the SGML for the man pages, is included.
The patches can be found here:

If there's any problem with importing these patches into SAMBA,
please let me know and I'll be glad to make any necessary changes.
Thanks.
