To be clear and recap-- smb.conf has the following interfaces = eth0
Static IP was assigned via network manager. smbd would not start up-- as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/836849 (open_socket_smbd fail) As per this bug (the one i am currently updating), i edited the startup in /etc/init/smbd.conf to be the following start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0) smbd started without a problem, but nmbd no longer started at boot. Following the debug tips in the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/samba/+bug/596064 I identified that nmbd was not starting because /var/run/samba did not exist. I added 'mkdir -p /var/run/samba' to the pre-start script of /etc/init/nmbd.conf as suggested by bug 596064, and now everything starts up as expected. hope this explains it.. -- 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/823878 Title: "bind interfaces only" requires a manual change to /etc/init/smbd.conf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/823878/+subscriptions -- 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
