Samba daemons and change the button names to Stop smbd and Stop nmbd.
Clicking Stop smbd will stop the Samba or smbd daemon. Clicking Stop nmbd will stop the
WINS or nmbd daemon.
When printer or share parameters have changed, clicking Restart smbd will restart Samba
and activate the changes. If global parameters have changed, restart both daemons by
clicking Restart smbd and Restart nmbd.
