Hi Jamie - your syslog shows that Upstart attempted to restart smbd a number of times, but since smbd kept exiting in error, it eventually hit the upstart respawn limit at which point Upstart stopped attempting to start it.
The problem suggests an issue either with the smbd binary or one of the files it reads (maybe an invalid /etc/samba/smb.conf?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771305 Title: smbd does not start on first boot with 20110426 -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
