I am having a lot of problems with nmbd. Basically it refuses to open its
socket to listen on. I have checked, and the reason cannot be that the port
is in use, as I can set any port with the -p switch, and I get the same
error. The relevant part of the nmb log is:
Netbios name list:-

I would really appreciate some help on this
