[Bug 996968] Re: Samba needs to be stopped and restarted in order to work

[Julian Haagsma]

This also affects me; I was simply follwing the recommendation, in the
configuration file, since my server is also a firewall:

# Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the
# 'interfaces' option above to use this.
# It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine is
# not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself.  However, this
# option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces correctly.
   bind interfaces only = yes

Title:
  Samba needs to be stopped and restarted in order to work

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1- I setup samba in order to have my server act as Domain Controller (I have NO windows server)
  2- after each reboot of my server (Internity), smbd and nmbd are running, but I am unable to connect to it
       (see first screen capture)
  3- stopping and restarting smbd and nmbd fixes this.
       It seems that on the first start, either smb did not uses the right smb.conf file, or that an early startup of samba 
       make it miss some files or ressources.
