[Bug 462169] Re: nmbd dies on startup when network interfaces are not up yet

[Nicolas M]

Following your guidelines, I think I understand better how nmbd is
behaving.

nmbd is started after a user logs in, and if the network-manager is
running.

In fact, as I'm setting a server, I configured the Wifi so that it could
connect with wpa_supplicant at the end of boot, but I did not use the
network-manager for that (I used wpa_supplicant with configuration
file).

Bad idea, as there seems to be some logic between network-manager and
nmbd. nmbd starts when a net I/F goes up in this case.

And I need to have Wifi and nmbd running, even if no one is logged in.

So probably will have to cope with the network-manager, and see how I
can configure Wifi (maybe with wpa_cli ?) to set the wlan interface
through the network-manager. In this case, I hope seeing nmbd start
automatically when the wifi interface comes up, as when a user logs into
Gnome.

Thanks anyway for your help !
