Ted,

This looks like the experience we had getting Samba up.

NMBD running as the network browser was setting-up SMBD processes which
would not die and soaked-up so much CPU on our testbed 918LX that the
SHOWPROC on the console took ages to respond.

I dug through the 3000-L achives and borrowed some smd.conf entries, check
out INETDCNF, PROTOCOL, HOSTS, SERVICES, RESLVCNF etc., put in links for
all of those files which belong both in MPE and Posix.

Now when Windows95 PC's browse the network they can see this 918 but when
they try to connect up and the SMDB is launched the connection times out
and the SMBD closes down and the 918 carries on!!

I do not have an answer but I did a lot of tinkering with the configuration
and stopped this problem, but I still can not get Windows95 to connect up.

I believe that my problem relates to having a network connected to the
outside world through firewall and external DNS but no internal WINS or
DNS, so NT works but Windows95 does not.

The next time I have a day to spare I will try again to sort this out.
