The same was reported to Debian as well and looks like it is the same timing problem: http://bugs.debian.org/576415 I'm just discovering the long story of that LP#462169. It apparently got fixed in some Ubuntu packages and just forgot flowing "upstream". If only I could find the patch in LP, it could be added to the Debian package but that bug is...ahem....quite hairy. I get gazillion informations about the people who are subscribed to the bug but no obvious point that says *this is the fix*. -- nmbd dies on startup when network interfaces are not up yet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
