Hmm, 348766 does not seem to happen because the user uses these options.

Hmmm, man smb.conf does not give any clue about this...Where do you
find documentation about it? First time I here about this parameter
(which means nothing as there are so many).

So, proposing this:

# The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to
# This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask
;   interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0
#
# Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks (see the
# 'interfaces" option which MUS be set if you use this). 
# It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba 
# machine is not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself
;   bind interfaces only = true
