samba - Mar 2002 - ps -ef | grep mbd reports only mbd

Again,
  Following Carter's book, and after starting smbd and nmbd with " smbd
-D ;
nmbd -D" I do a "ps -ef | grep mbd".  Only nmbd is report with
it's PID.  smbd
never is reported.  Jerry's book [2nd ed.] states that both should show up
with
their respective PIDs.
  I have searched through over one hundred pages of documentation and cannot 
find the answer as to "why?" this is occuring.  Where else can I look
for the
answer other than the distributed man pages?

TIA

Bob

Bob,

Are you running 2.2.3a?  Try running

	smbd -i -d 10

from the command line and see what smbd spews to stdout.
It should help.  Probably can't open a file or required
tdb.






cheers, jerry
