[Gllug] nmbd shutdown

[Bob Sullivan]

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for suggestion re: deamon mode for nmbd.  Have just run nmbd -D and 
smbd -D

Will test system shortly by disconnecting cable to eth0.

On subject of deny local login - yours is second suggestion for /bin/false.  
Will try out tomorrow.


Thanks Bob
