The command you used above pipes the output of ps waux through "grep inetd", to only display lines that contain "inetd". Try running "ps waux" by itself to see the difference (as an aside "ps ax" generally gives enough info without filling your screen with crap). Now that you have commented the samba entries out of inetd.conf, you need to reload the config using "kill -HUP inetd" Then start smbd and nmbd with the following as DrTebi suggested below: /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd If you like try your new found knowledge of ps (type in "man ps" for further info) to check to see if smbd and nmbd are running. Also try "man smb.conf" to get furthur info regarding the samba configuration file. Also while you are at it have a look at "man ps" and "man grep". > After I typed what DrTebi suggested...
