After a little bit of research I feel a little vindicated. It seems that Samba3x seporated out nmb. On Samba 3.0 the nmb service does not show up in the chkconfig. It simply starts and stops with smb. On Samba3x it seporates out nmb and it does not start by itself. So based on my experience I never needed to start nmb seporately so just like all of you it didn't enter my mind as the culperate. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
