Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
Samba fails to start on boot to enable remote file access on ubuntu and
windows.
I was able to fix the nmbd startup issue on natty and maverick!
It has to do with the init scrip at /etc/init/nmbd.conf
The start line needs to state start on local-filesystems ONLY!
The loopback ethernet interfaces start too late to satisfy the
chronological dependency for nmbd to load as process...
Thus, /etc/init/nmbd.conf content should be:
description "NetBIOS name server"
author "Steve Langasek <steve.langa...@ubuntu.com>"
start on (local-filesystems)
stop on runlevel [!2345]
expect fork
respawn
pre-start script
mkdir -p /var/run/samba
[ -f /etc/samba/smb.conf ] || { stop; exit 0; }
install -o root -g root -m 755 -d /var/run/samba
NMBD_DISABLED=`testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios'
2>/dev/null`
[ "x$NMBD_DISABLED" = xYes ] && { stop; exit 0; }
exit 0
end script
exec nmbd -D
