Very Computer

I am not sure if these error messages are linked to the
problems I am having trying to get my computer to answer the phone
via a uugetty entry in /etc/inittab.
        From syslog:

Sep  4 16:14:12 loghost inetd[81]: /usr/sbin/nmbd: exit status 0x1
Sep  4 16:14:13 loghost inetd[81]: netbios-ns/udp server failing
(looping), service terminated
Sep  4 16:24:18 loghost inetd[81]: /usr/sbin/nmbd: exit status 0x1
Sep  4 16:24:54 loghost last message repeated 19 times
Sep  4 16:25:13 loghost last message repeated 19 times
Sep  4 16:25:14 loghost inetd[81]: netbios-ns/udp server failing
(looping), service terminated

        Any ideas??

No, not to do with mgetty. I get this also (I run Slackware 3.0).
I think the Samba server is running and trying to connect with
something. Let me know what you find out, it bloats my syslog!

I'm willing to bet you're not using Samba, are you?  I'm also willing to
bet that if you do "ls /usr/sbin/nmbd" there won't be such a file there.

Edit your /etc/inetd.conf file and comment out the lines for "smbd" and
"nmbd" which are used for Samba.  Then killall -HUP inetd and the problem
should go away.

I had the same problem with a linux box connected to a Win95 network.
The accesses to the /usr/sbin/nmbd are done when Win95 initializes
the network.

The only solution I found is to remove the netbios entries in /etc/inetd.conf.

You have not the samba package installed. You can get it from contrib dire
ctory of your slw distribution. It has nothing to do with W95 network but
with /etc/inetd.conf file. If you don't want samba, comment two lines from
inetd.conf out. And , kill -1 # of inetd.
Have a good time, Roman.

I got that same error.  What it is, is inetd trying to load Samba
which isn't located in the /usr/sbin/ directory.  To solve the
problem you can either change the directory to point wherever
Samba is located (in my case /usr/local/samba/bin) or comment out
that line and the one that attempts to load smbd.

Hope this helps.
