I think this all makes very good sense.  Let's apply it to -trivial too,
for now anyway, -- if we'll ever decide to factor it out to a helper
script, that script will be more complete.

BTW, I'm not sure `socket address' paraameter is relevant in this context
at all, -- smbd should not use it in inetd mode.  It'd be interesting to
know why this option is here to start with, and whenever we really need
the new interfaces/bind-interfacs-only replacement.

I picked it up for -trivial, and also Cc'ing Jan.

Thank you!
