This is not correct way to control access to your samba - due to the way how samba works. Use -> So I figured I'd better run as daemons instead of from `inetd' and added -> something like this to the `[global]' section of my `smb.conf' That's it -> hosts deny = ALL EXCEPT localhost # deny-all policy -> hosts allow = 172.16. # private class B network -> -> and ran `sambaconfig' again. So far, so good. I haven't seen any -> looping in the last few hours. Uh, after starting it with the `-a' -> flag (already filed a bug report about this). -> All in all, it looks like running Samba from `inetd' is not such a -> good idea.
