Is is running from inetd.conf? If so, then it will not show unless someone
is browsing your box on the network. Otherwise... Pass.

I do not see it either.. at startup:

Warning: Samba is not running as daemons. Daemons not restarted/stopped.
Daemons will start automatically by inetd. Use 'killall nmbd' and
'killall smbd' to stop the Samba daemons (they'll start again).

Do you get this?
