After much fighting I now have samba working on my desktop, but I have to
start it each I reboot.In my /etc/inetd.conf I have:
#<off># netbios-ssn     stream  tcp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/smbd
#<off># netbios-ns      dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/nmbd -a
swat            stream  tcp     nowait.400      root    /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/swat


I have tried several different derivations and the only thing that I have
succeeded in is making it so that I can not manually turn it on. For that
matter I was nto able to get SWAT to waork so i just modded the smb.conf
myself. This is a debian syste,
