What appears to be happening is that the first time nmbd gets run testparm fails (because pid dir /var/run/samba doesn't exist yet) so nmbd is not started.
After that smbd gets run and its pre-init will create /var/run/samba. So the next time nmbd's pre-init script will work. -- nmbd fails to start on boot - problem with upstart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596064 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
