Running the Samba Server
The Samba server
consists of two daemons, smbd and
nmbd. The smbd
daemon
provides the file and print sharing services. The
nmbd
daemon
provides NetBIOS name server support.You can run the
Samba server either from the init scripts or from
inetd as a system service. Because Red Hat by
default starts SMB services from the init scripts
each time you boot, rather than as a service from
inetd, you can use this command to start or stop the
SMB server:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start|stop

Using the init scripts provides better
response to SMB requests rather than continuously
spawning the programs from inetd.
