I imagine you wanted to grep the output of ps to find the smbd server, 
but at runlevel 1 nothing is really running (by default).  I get pretty 
much the same thing from ps when I have the problem and when I do not. 
 The first listing is with the problem (telinit 1 first).  The second 
listing is after a reboot into runlevel 1:
