I (as the Samba maitainer) feel a bit guilty about this. Remco
Blaakmeer <remco@Cal011205.student.utwente.nl> reported this as a bug
in Samba and I told him I was going to investigate but the truth is
that I have done nothing to to my lack of time and my unexperience
with xinetd (haven't ever used it).
Today I e-mailed Jeremy Allison (from the Samba team) asking about
issues to run Samba from xinetd. I am waiting for his reponse.
Yesterday I searched the Samba mail archives for any information regarding
xinetd and did not find anything with the word "xinetd".
Finally, since nmbd works fine from inetd, I really would like to know
if the problem is wrong configuration of xinetd or there is really
something wrong with nmbd (in which case you should close the bug
against xinetd and I'll have to fix the same bug filed against Samba).
Experienced xinetd users please stand up, we need help!
One other thing: it is my understanding that the other Samba daemon
(smbd) works fine with xinetd; the problem is with nmbd. Can anyone
confirm this?
By the way, I thought Adam Heath was the maintainer of xinetd. Did
this change lately? Also, why xinetd is in non-free?
Bye for now.
