\fBnmbd\fR is a server that understands

those produced by SMB/CIFS clients such as Windows 95/98/ME,

nmbd can also be operated from the \fBinetd\fR
meta-daemon, although this is not recommended.

+\fB-F\fR
+If specified, this parameter causes

+i.e. double-fork and disassociate with the terminal.
+Child processes are still created as normal to service
+each connection request, but the main process does not
+exit. This operation mode is suitable for running
+\fBnmbd\fR under process supervisors such
+as \fBsupervise\fR and \fBsvscan\fR
+from Daniel J. Bernstein's \fBdaemontools\fR
+package, or the AIX process monitor.
