[Bug 951087] Re: Samba non-functional on boot.

[James Page]

The upstart configuration for samba makes the assumption that you are
not using this configuration i.e. it assumes that samba will deal with
binding to all interfaces.

It would be good to confirm this - please could you attach the log files
for smbd and smbd from /var/log/samba to this bug report.

In the meantime you could try adding an override file for your specific
configuration in /etc/init/smbd.override:

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0)

This might help as the smbd daemon will then try to start a bit later
once a real network interface starts up.

I'm downgrading this bug to 'Low' as its very specific to the way you
are using samba and marking 'Incomplete' pending your response on the
above.

Thanks

Title:
  Samba non-functional on boot.

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Even though nmbd and smbd are running after boot, Samba service is unavailable.
  ===========================
  ps axf |grep mbd
  2467 ?        Ss     0:00 smbd -F
  2469 ?        S      0:00  \_ smbd -F
  2478 ?        Ss     0:00 nmbd -D
  ===========================

  Samba does not allow connections from other systems and nmap from
  another system does not list ports 139 and 445 as open.

  Restarting both nmbd and smbd after boot makes Samba service available and nmap now shows ports open:
  ===========================
  PORT     STATE SERVICE
  139/tcp  open  netbios-ssn
  445/tcp  open  microsoft-ds
  ===========================
