I was able to connect using smbclient with no trouble. Interestingly, there
is no nmbd daemon running. I did a /etc/init.d/samba stop followed by
/etc/init.d/samba start, and the system reported that it had started the
smbd and nmbd daemons, but ps only shows smbd. Hmmmm. Starting is manually
doesn't seem to work either. Anybody know why nmbd would refuse to run?
