Can't get smbd running...

My /etc/smb.conf reads ...

[global]
  workgroup = WORKGROUP
  server string = Samba server

[homes]
  guest ok = no
  read only = no

...as/per Sambas simplest example in the How-To. And my 
file /etc/inetd.conf has these lines added...

netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/pkg/sbin/smbd 
smbd
netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/pkg/sbin/nmbd nmbd

...without the line-break (e-mail window size) on smbd's 
line...

But I do...

# ps -aux | grep mbd

...and get a listing for "nmbd" but not "smbd". I have 
also done...

kill -HUP 191

...where 191 is the PID for "inetd" as reported by...

# ps -aux 

...I have also rebooted, repeatedly, and still the same.

Any ideas on what's wrong with my smbd?

Thanks,
