Samba can either be started as a "service" in inetd or started by the
run-level init process. On my debian system, you can manually start &
stop Samba by typing /etc/init.d/samba [start | stop | restart]. On
non-Debian systems the path to the samba command script may vary. The
script should be used when manually doing things with samba as it gets
the order for starting and stopping daemons correct. You can also use
swat if you have it enabled.
If Samba is started in inetd, you need the lines you mentioned.
Otherwise, run something like the KDE System V Init editor and add Samba
to start and stop at the appropriate run levels.
The permission denied error is probably because you were not logged in
as root. Try using the su command first!

Hi,
For no particular reason, my Samba service didn't start yesterday,
when I went to start it by going in the /usr/local/samba/sbin and then
typing SMBD I got an error
"permission denied" and something about the port 139 (sorry I don't have
the whole error message)
No changes were made on the box.
I started looking over the web and I found an something out something to
help me out on this issue.
This is what I found
Now, if you wish to use inetd to start the Samba daemons, enter suitable
lines in the file /etc/inetd.conf, such as the following:
netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd
netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat
After editing the files, type refresh -s inetd.
Now my question is : Why commenting that out made from the Indetd.conf
works.
In other case why did I had to go trough this to start the samba
service,
is the samba sercie suppose to start automatically ?
Thanks for all your help
Eddy
