Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  we have samba running with ldap authentication.
  After today's update apparently ldap is started before samba which causes samba to log these warnings:

  [2011/03/02 21:58:50,  0] smbd/server.c:1069(main)
    smbd version 3.4.7 started.

  [2011/03/02 21:58:51,  1] lib/smbldap.c:1265(another_ldap_try)
    Connection to LDAP server failed for the 2 try!

  after that no further errors are logged and smbd is running but not
  responding to any requests. A

  service smdb restart

  fixes the problem but it will reoccur on each reboot. for now, we have
  found a workaround: simply added

  sleep 5 ; service smbd restart

  to /etc/rc.local but this of course does not fix the underlying
  problem. Any advice?

  samba version: 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.4
