Well, /etc/hosts is still the same as before updating to 3.0.21c with 127.0.0.1 in it. After some try and error I added the line

   socket address = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.x.x

to my smb.conf. Now I have NMBD bound to 0.0.0.0 and SWAT shows the correct status. The only thing I'd like to know now is if this is a security issue. I have my linux server behind a router firewall so I think this should keep NMBD invisible to the internet. But I'm not quite sure about that.

    interfaces = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.x.x/255.255.255.0
    bind interfaces only = yes


As a result SWAT does not show the status of NMDB any longer. Any idea which
parameters are different to 3.0.20 or is this a bug in 3.0.21c?

you should confirm that 'cat /etc/hosts' still has
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

as the first line

just my initial thought...
