[Bug 1635491] Re: nmbd hangs on service start if only the loopback interface is configured

[Andreas Hasenack]

I filed an upstream bug about this, since we are still seeing it happen
in the wild. I think the real fix should be for nmbd to notify systemd
as soon as it's up and running, instead of when an interface is
available. Because nmbd already has a loop where it waits forever for an
interface even after it started up, i.e., it dynamically adapts itself.
