Situation
rcnovell-cifs start would fail to load the CIFS server service.
Resolution
Looking at the /var/log/cifs/cifs.log file showed the following:
Jun 9 10:40:26 sultsrv CIFS[9879]: CRITICAL: NBNS: Failed to create socket and bind, error: 98
Jun 9 10:40:26 sultsrv CIFS[8531]: CRITICAL: BROWSER: StartUdpPort138Server: Failed to create and bind socket. Error: 98
netstat -peanut | grep :138 showed that the socket was already opened by nmbd.
kill -9 $(pidof nmbd) killed the nmbd process
rcnovell-cifs start successfully loaded the CIFS server service.
chkconfig nmb off will keep it from load again on the next boot.
