RedHat 7.1
Problem: can't start the smbd daemon

Procedure:
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start

ps -e
;displays the nmbd daemon running but not smbd

#/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba restart
;same thing. nmbd is running but not smbd

there is no firewall installed (at least that is what I told RedHat during installation).

Any kinds of suggestion is greatly appreciated
