這兩個 daemon 是 /usr/sbin/smbd 和 /usr/sbin/nmbd.
你可以執行 Samba daemon 從 inetd 或當成單獨的程序. 如果你正設定一個永久檔案伺服器,你應該從 inetd 來執行,所以如果他們死掉,那將重新開始.如果你只是偶爾想要使用 SMB 伺服器,或者用系統管理來輔助,當你需要時,你可以藉由使用 /etc/rc.d/init.d script,或甚至直接手動的.
要從 inetd 來執行 daemon , 請放以下幾行在 inetd 組態檔, /etc/inetd.conf:
# SAMBA NetBIOS services (for PC file and print sharing)
netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/smbd smbd
netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/nmbd nmbd
然後下指令以便重新啟動 inetd daemon :
kill -HUP 1
要從系統啟動的 script 來執行 daemon, 請把以下的 script 置於一個叫做 /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb 檔, 而且 symbolically link 到註釋{comments}所說明的檔案:
#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb - starts and stops SMB services.
#
# The following files should be synbolic links to this file:
# symlinks: /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K35smb (Kills SMB services on shutdown)
# /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91smb (Starts SMB services in multiuser mode)
# /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K35smb (Kills SMB services on reboot)
#
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
