Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
When my laptop boots network is not yet configured since NM didn´t start it
yet. Samba however tries to start since it is in S20 on rc2-5.d but it fails
immediately because no network is configured yet. Running - sudo
/etc/init.d/samba restart - is fine.
In the log file I can find the following pair of errors:
[2009/04/18 11:22:48, 0] lib/interface.c:load_interfaces(540)
WARNING: no network interfaces found
[2009/04/18 11:22:49, 0] smbd/server.c:open_sockets_smbd(548)
open_sockets_smbd: No sockets available to bind to.
Trying to resolve the problem, I wrote an updown script in
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d naming it 02samba:
$ ls -l /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d
total 12K
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.3K 2008-10-21 05:17 01ifupdown
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.9K 2009-05-08 11:35 02samba
If this solution makes sense I would recommend that it would be added to Ubuntu
samba server package.
Here is the script I wrote:
#!/bin/sh -e
# Script to dispatch NetworkManager events
#
# Runs ifupdown scripts when NetworkManager fiddles with interfaces.
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "$0: called with no interface" 1>&2
exit 1;
fi

export ADDRFAM="NetworkManager"

export VERBOSITY="0"

then

then
case $notRunningCont in # count "not running"
2) # both smbd and nmbd are down. start them
exec /etc/init.d/samba start
