Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
There's probably a good reason for this behavior, but it sure is annoying! Steps to reproduce: 1. Start samba services, ensure nmbd is running. with `ps faux | grep nmbd` 2. `tail -f /var/log/samba/log.nmbd &` <-- observe 3. disable networking in nm-applet. 4. the log will eventually say, "reload_interfaces: No subnets to listen to. Shutting down.." Expected results: nmbd runs until told otherwise Here are a few brief discussions(?) elsewhere about this issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg41675.html (contains a patch, but was supposed to be for version 3.0.5pre2) http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2006/Mar/msg01363.html http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2002-June/022340.html Here's a quick 'n dirty potential fix (the samba code just looked way too nice not to try :) but it may have undesirable side effects.
