I am a new samba user and am searching for some help on a few things. Any
help / advice on the following is appreciated.
We have a small network with 95/98/2000 workstations, one Redhat 6.0 server
running Samba 2.07 and one Novell 5.0 box that we use as a dns and dhcp
server as well as a firewall. There is one workgroup, ET and no domains. I
want samba to be the local master browser for the wg ET.
I just installed, configured (I thought) and started smbd and nmbd, checked
the logs and noticed the following in nmb.log. Should I concern myself
with these and if so which ones?

Incorrect program usage - is the command line correct?

The socket options are confusing as I thought I was using the defaults.
and lastly my samba.conf:
