is this NT4? with service pack 3 or later? if so, you're likely running into the encrypted passwords problem. stick: encrypt passwords = Yes into your smb.conf & you should be smoking. also, it's generally recommended not to run smbd as a demon and from inetd at the same time. it can get icky. truth be told, i'm not exactly sure where all the smbd and nmbd processes are either, but i do most of my admin through the SWAT tool (included with the port), where it's pretty easy to start/stop/restart things, so i haven't had a problem. hope that helps! -johnnnnnnnn Joe.Warner@smed.com wrote: > > Hi, > > I am posting this to FreeBSD-Questions in an act of desperation.
