Folks
My experiments have shown that Samba behaves differently in Centos 5.6 and Centos 6 (updated).
In Centos 5, service smb restart restarts both smb and nmb.
In Centos 6, however, it restarts only smb.
REMEDY: a) Make sure that both services running b) Issue chkconfig smb on chkconfig nmb on
IS THIS THE DESIRED BEHAVIOR I have no idea if this difference is a "bug" or a "feature", and leave it to others to determine that.
