    1) in /etc/var/log/samba/log.nmbd

    nmbd version 3.6.25 started.

    standard input is not a socket, assuming -D option
    invalid permissions on socket directory /var/nmbd   :manfrustrated:
    ERROR: nb_packet_server_create failed: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

    2) Change the permissionto 755 (it already was but probably a 'glitch' happened)

    3) Restart nmbd

    NAS:/etc/samba# nmbd -i
    nmbd version 3.6.25 started.
