[Bug 836849] Re: Samba starts before static IPs set in network manager, even when only using 'interfaces' and not 'bind interfaces only'

[Robie Basak]

The last time I looked at this, I missed that Clint had already marked
this Invalid.

Camden, you say:
> I do not have IFACE=eth0 in the "start on' clause of /etc/init/smb.conf

Note that this is required. If you choose to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
manually to add an "interfaces" entry, you MUST also adjust
/etc/init/smb.conf if you're using Network Manager.

As Clint said, I don't see a generic way of avoiding this requirement,
but also see it as acceptable that you understand how to edit
configuration files manually if you choose to edit configuration files
manually.

So, realistically, this isn't going to change, unless someone else wants
to propose a path forward in technical terms. It's either a Wishlist, or
Won't Fix, or both. I think that keeping this bug open is misleading, so
I'm marking it as Won't Fix.

  Expect that samba will start up provided the interface assigned in
  it's config has a static IP address.

  Instead, Samba starts before the network manager manages to set up the static IP address on the machine.
