samba lock problem

[Christopher Clark <chris@maltwhiskey.demon.co.uk>]

My /var/log/syslog is filing up with lots of:

Sep 14 10:24:16 hurricane nmbd[1753]:   ERROR: nmbd is already running. File 
/var/lock/samba/nmbd.pid exists and process id 1546 is running.
Sep 14 10:24:16 hurricane inetd[205]: /usr/sbin/tcpd: exit status 0x1
Sep 14 10:24:16 hurricane nmbd[1754]: connect from 192.168.200.30
Sep 14 10:24:16 hurricane nmbd[1754]: [2000/09/14 10:24:16, 0] 
lib/pidfile.c:pidfile_create(86)

by the way hurricane is 192.168.200.30
samba seems to be running ok, this is a new install of potato since the 
upgrade from slink didn't
Any ideas?
