I fiddled around with the network  and the message  
about failing to bind went away.
Samba seems to work - I can use it as a print server. However, I 
am puzzled about why  don't see a smbd process running when
enter 
     ps -aux | grep smbd

If smbd is called by nmbd, then do I have to run it in the rc.d
scripts as suggensted in documentation.
