I am both new to FreeBSD and Samba, and with that in mind ...

I installed Samba 3.3. from Ports.

I have this in my rc.conf:

#samba
nmbd_enable="YES"
smbd_enable="YES"
winbindd_enable="YES"

I can see an active PID:

prod1# cat /var/run/smbd.pid
24426

But it seems like smbd isn't running:

prod1# ps -auwxx | egrep '[sn]mbd'
root  24513  0.0  0.3 21108  4672  ??  Ss   Sat02PM   0:00.71 /usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D -s /usr/local/etc/smb.conf

If I restart samba with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba restart it runs:

prod1# ps -auwxx | egrep '[sn]mbd'
root  30188  0.0  0.3 21080  4700  ??  Ss    2:49PM   0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D -s /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
root  30196  0.0  0.6 35520 10952  ??  Ss    2:49PM   0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D -s /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
root  30198  0.0  0.6 35520 10880  ??  S     2:49PM   0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/smbd -D -s /usr/local/etc/smb.conf

Until I do:

prod1# smbclient -L prod1
Connection to prod1 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)
prod1#
prod1# ps -auwxx | egrep '[sn]mbd'
root  30188  0.0  0.3 21080  4700  ??  Ss    2:49PM   0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D -s /usr/local/etc/smb.conf

What should I be checking to find out what's going on?
