[Bug 951087] Re: Samba non-functional on boot.

[Noble Pepper]

I have suffered this behavior through several versions of Ubuntu, I
believe since at least Precise.

For me changing smbd.conf start condition from :

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up)

to:

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)

takes care of it, seems rather simple, I don't see why anyone would want
to run SAMBA on lo.

Title:
  Samba non-functional on boot.

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Even though nmbd and smbd are running after boot, Samba service is unavailable.
  ===========================
  ps axf |grep mbd
  2467 ?        Ss     0:00 smbd -F
  2469 ?        S      0:00  \_ smbd -F
  2478 ?        Ss     0:00 nmbd -D
  ===========================

  Samba does not allow connections from other systems and nmap from
  another system does not list ports 139 and 445 as open.

  Restarting both nmbd and smbd after boot makes Samba service available and nmap now shows ports open:
  ===========================
  PORT     STATE SERVICE
  139/tcp  open  netbios-ssn
  445/tcp  open  microsoft-ds
  ===========================
