[Bug 836849] Re: Samba starts before static IPs set in network manager

[camden lindsay]

Okay, let me see if i can touch on all of your points here.

I do not have  IFACE=eth0 in the "start on' clause of /etc/init/smb.conf

However, i do have the following line in /etc/samba/smb.conf, and it does not 'just work' as you indicate it should, unfortunately. :(
interfaces = eth0  


Note that this bug is the same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/374589 essentially.


Attached are single startup /var/log/samba/log.smbd, /var/log/samba/log.nmbd, and /etc/samba/smb.conf, as well as a successful startup of smbd after the system is up and running.

Note the following in log.smbd:

  Expect that samba will start up provided the interface assigned in
  it's config has a static IP address.

  Instead, Samba starts before the network manager manages to set up the static IP address on the machine.
