Hmm, I did wonder why you stopped answering my messages. > Today I e-mailed Jeremy Allison (from the Samba team) asking about > issues to run Samba from xinetd. I am waiting for his reponse. Fine. > Yesterday I searched the Samba mail archives for any information regarding > xinetd and did not find anything with the word "xinetd". :-( Does this mean the bug has been found by Debian users only and that it hasn't been forwarded upstream? > Finally, since nmbd works fine from inetd, I really would like to know > if the problem is wrong configuration of xinetd or there is really > something wrong with nmbd (in which case you should close the bug > against xinetd and I'll have to fix the same bug filed against Samba). > Experienced xinetd users please stand up, we need help! > > One other thing: it is my understanding that the other Samba daemon > (smbd) works fine with xinetd; the problem is with nmbd.

Also, why xinetd is in non-free? According to the bug tracking system, he still is the maintainer. /usr/doc/xinetd/changelog.Debian.gz says that xinetd was moved to non-free at version 2.2.1-3. This was done on "Sat, 14 Mar 1998 03:31:50 -0500". I think it is a bad thing that the reason why it was moved is not mentioned at all in the changelog (or anywhere else for that matter).
