I got it. Thanks. Then it seems my method 2 is not working. What's a good way for me to track down the problem? There is no error on boot but when I go to print from Win95 it asks me for a password for the network. I have tried setting the samba password both for root and for me with no result. I get the feeling passwords are not the problem anyway if it works via method 2. If it's running via inetd shouldn't something show with "ps ax"?
