It appears you are spawning samba from the internet superdaemon -- inetd
versus running nmbd and smbd as separate daemons. Have you tried running
either (or both) manually? First you will need to comment out the smbd
and nmbd entries in inetd.conf and do a "kill -HUP" to the inetd process
id:

    # vi /etc/inetd.conf # comment out then save #
    # ps axf | grep inetd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}' | xargs \
    kill -HUP
    # /usr/sbin/nmbd -D -d 10
    # /usr/sbin/smbd -D -d 10

It might be called samba.log ?? If not, check your syslog(s).

Technically only read access is necessary for root to parse the file.

If that doesn't help, Google is your friend...
