Problem with Samba startup script with Slack 9.1

I am running Slackware 9.1 with Samba installed. When I type /etc/rc.d/rc.samba start , it spawn the nmbd process about 20 times. I also tried to start Samba with the smbd and nmbd command and the smbd -D and nmbd -D command and the same thin happens. Is this a bug? I had Slack 9.0 on the server before and it ran flawlessly.

Maybe you should look in /var/log/samba dir for logfiles which can give you a clue what's going wrong. There's probably a problem in your samba configuration. Samba runs without problems here on Slack 9.1.

I got it working. I had the lines for netbios stuff uncommented in the /etc/inetd.conf. They should be commented if running it as a deamon. Thanks rotvogel for the help.
