Title:
  smbd refusing connections after reboot

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  SAMBA refuses connections after each system restart.

  I use my desktop as, well, a desktop. I like to connect to my local
  machines to share and backup files and such. I have several different
  devices running a mix of Linux and Windows. So, I shutdown each night
  since there is no reason to have my machine running constantly as it
  is not serving anything and updates can be done anytime.

  Anyway, SAMBA was always refusing connections. I tried and tried for
  months to fix it permanently, rather than having to need to resort to
  manually restarting the service each time I needed to access my
  network. This current install on this system is from November of 2012.

  So, after lots and lots of searching... I come across this:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/771305/comments/17

  It fixed my issue. SAMBA is now accepting connections after a restart
  and it does it automatically now.

  My real question here is: Why as this been allowed to persist for
  nearly 2 full years now? I've seen lots and lots of forum posts (with
  no working solutions) about this issue and no one could figure it out.
  Not even me (mind you, I'm no expert)... until I found the above
  linked post here on launchpad.

  In any case, this needs to be addressed. smbd not waiting until the
  system is up and functioning before it checks for network devices is
  just frustrating.

  Sorry about this long-winded, old news post. I just think this should
  be fixed sooner, rather than later.
