Very Computer

I have been changing my smb.conf file.  I have been using
the startsmb script to start samba so that I can get everything worked
out before I include it with inetd.  My problem is when I stop
samba by killing the smbd and nmbd processes, I've had to reboot
to start samba again. If I try to restart it without reboot, I get
a can't find port 139 error.

In any case:
- are you sure you killed the processes? "ps -ef | grep mb" should
  tell you whether they're still alive.
- do you try to restart the server as non-root? Non-root users must use
  ports > 1024.
