Hi,

I have static IP address set and my nmbd doesn't start automatically.
"sudo service nmbd start" is working OK and nmbd starts, but nmbd
doesn't start after boot.

I tried with suggested changing /etc/init/nmbd.conf, but nmbd doesn't
start and I found this in dmesg:

2018 mynamexxx at server /etc % dmesg|grep nmb

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 which was upgraded from 11.04 and 10.10 and
10.04.

Title:
  Samba (nmbd) fails to start at boot

Status in NULL Project:
  Invalid
Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a wireless connection so, at boot - maybe also due to Lucid
  short cold boot - my network isn't up. This causes my nmbd process (a
  smbd related daemon) to return without letting me accessing my samba
  shares. In order to do this I have to manually run `sudo service nmbd
  start` and everything goes fine. Only a minor issue, I know, but for
  less experienced users it may cause troubles. (Actually, I had to ask
  ubuntuforums.org for a solution)
