Interesting. I run Samba directly, not under inetd. My primary reason for
this is that smb.conf allows you control which interfaces samba listens on
and I can therefore restrict it to my internal interfaces and not expose it
to the outside world. By running it under inetd, won't this capability be
lost, since inetd will listen on all interfaces, and you'll have to be more
careful with the firewall ?
