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

[James Page]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in Ubuntu.

I've seen similar issues when using the following configuration:

  bind interfaces only = yes

This causes samba to only bind to selected interfaces rather than
0.0.0.0 - as it starts early in the boot process this fails as its not
guaranteed that all network interfaces have started when smbd does:

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

When you restart smbd after boot the network interfaces have started so
all works OK.

I would suggest that you either reconfigure samba to listen more
generically or add a upstart stanza to /etc/init/smbd.override:

  start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0)

You will need to change this to fit your configuration - i.e. which
network interface provides 192.168.0.0/24.  For more information see
'man 5 init'.

I'm going to mark the bug as 'Invalid' as I think its specific to your
local samba configuration.  If you think this is not the case please
comment and mark as 'New'.

Thanks
