Danny, The nmbd error is because you have Samba enabled as a Wins server so two nmbd processes are started and your script is having trouble finding the second one to kill. If you execute the shutdown command again you will see the second process killed.
Your network problems sound like line errors. Try doing an 'ifconfig' and see if you are getting any errors on that network card.

I have a Linux (redhat) 8.0 mail server set up with; qmail dhcp / dns transparent proxy to internet - adsl HTML & our web pages (nothing special) SAMBA This problem has been with me since RedHat 7.3 and thir packaged samba. If I transfer a file from the mail (linux box) box to a win98se box it takes a minimum amount of time. If I transfer a file to the mail box from a win98se box it takes enormous amounts of time for example a file of 100k from mail to win98 - 10 secs a file 0f 100k from win98 to mail - 10 mins (if it makes it and the process doesn't fail.) error messages usually like : "The device does not exist on the network...." Smaller files of say 1-3k transfer without problems in reasonable amounts of time. The same problems occur when I map a drive from win98 to mail - except that I can transfer slightly larger files (up to 75k) without the error/failure messages. It still takes about 5mins to transfer the file. Same goes when I use /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\win98name\c password - although I can 'get' a file up to about 140k without any error messages. I have tried the smb.conf with SO_RCVBUF to 32768, security user and share - There have been no problems establishing network connections. Everything appears to work just fine. When I perform a /etc/rd.c/init.d/smb restart I do get a message for NBM that is a little disturbing; Shutting down SMB services [ OK ] Shutting down NMB services /etc/rd.c/init.d/smb line 201:kill: (11313) - no such process Starting is all OK & OK /etc/services (as advised in the Unofficial Samba HOTTO) has netbios-ns 137/tcp netbios-ns 137/udp netbios-dgm 137/tcp netbios-dgm 137/udp netbios-ssn 137/tcp netbios-ssn 137/udp microsoft-ds 445/tcp microsoft-ds 445/udp As a matter of interest - qmail has the same problem. This may not be a samba problem - but any suggestions that you may be able to offer will be very well received (even rude ones) Thank you again for reading through my dilemma Danny Regan -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
