Hi
Static IPs: Some friends have the same config working on a static
network since some 2 years (Debian Etch IIRC). With karmic they report
it's working as long as they use wicd: but they are unable to use
NetworkManager (no logon servers). They are now planning to migrate all
the school within a 2 months deadline so it seems they feel happy. I
could get a syslog from them if needed.
DHCP: tried on another machine with samba package installed, so smbd and
nmbd appear on syslog too. I tried the four combinations of lines/no
lines about eth0 on /etc/network/interfaces and managed = false/true on
/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf.
Two of them (managed = false) follow below. I guess this covers the two
usual scenarios. Behaviour is always the same in all four cases. No wicd
tests done.
It seems that, with any config, and even if everybody gets fired up just
in time, dhclient does not finish before samba daemons start. I hope you
can see the causes I'm unable to see.
After some googling, it seems that there is a NETWORKWAIT option on
RedHat that goes in /etc/network/interfaces equivalent, but I'm unable
to see any mention about it on .deb-based distros. I know this is a
samba bug report, but does anybody knows about it?
Funniest thing is, if you wait some 30 seconds after gdm appears on
screen, you can login at first attemp; if you don't wait, first login
fails (?) Second login attempt always work.
Syslog snippets follow, I could send corresponding samba logs with
loglevel = 3 if needed.
Best regards,
Roman
