I get the following messages at startup;
Aug 20 23:59:46 kongemord nmbd[284]: [2003/08/20 23:59:46, 0] nmbd/asyncdns.c:st

Aug 20 23:59:46 kongemord nmbd[284]:   bind failed on port 137 socket_addr = 0.0
.0.0.
Aug 20 23:59:46 kongemord nmbd[284]:   Error = Address already in use

I would get similar messages for smbd, but I've configured it to bind 
only to the internal interface.

sockstat shows
root     nmbd       361    0 udp4   *:137                 *:*
...
root     inetd      203    5 udp4   *:137                 *:*
(My firewall blocks external CIFS connections, BTW.)

Samba works fine, so this doesn't seem to be a problem. But I'm 
puzzled, probably because I don't know much about this. I'm guessing 
that the error message occurs because inetd got to the port first. 
But I thought that binding to a port was a prerequesite for listening 
at the port. So if binding failed, why is nmbd listening at *:137?
And why are both nmdb and inetd listening at the same port? I 
thought you could have only one process listening at a port.
