[Bug 596064] [NEW] nmbd fails to start on boot - problem with upstart

[Abhishek Mukherjee]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

1. Release of Ubuntu is 10.04 LTS
2. Version of Samba is - 3.4.7

Problem - Expected nmbd service to start at boot but it  failed to start
at boot. We have multiple systems but this problem has been noticed only
on certain systems. The same packages were installed on all systems. As
a workaround, we changed the pre start script configuration file for
nmbd - /etc/init/nmbd.conf to make it start at boot always. The
following 2 lines were commented in the nmbd.conf file -

        NMBD_DISABLED=`testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios' 2>/dev/null`
       [ "x$NMBD_DISABLED" = xYes ] && { stop; exit 0; }

I don't think that I understand what the second line is trying to do.
Please check and advise how to fix this problem.
