samba seems to be running ok, this is a new install of potato since the
upgrade from slink didn't
Any ideas?
You're running nmbd (part of samba) as a daemon (faster, slightly more
resource hungry) and also starting it out of inetd.conf.
Then when a connection is detected, inetd spawns a process of nmbd, which
finds itself already running, and dies with this error.
Put a # in front of the samba lines in /etc/inetd.conf and then killall
-HUP inetd
