[Bug 1047262] Re: race condition on startup between samba and cups

[Steve Langasek]

Hi James,

        if status cups >/dev/null ; then
                start wait-for-state WAITER=smbd WAIT_FOR=cups WAIT_STATE=running
        fi

This solution has the effect that if the cups job is broken for any
reason, smbd will also not be started.  I don't think that's desirable.

We've tried hard in the past to ensure samba is *not* dependent on cups
being present before samba starts.  I think this would be better done as
a job in the samba package which is 'start on started cups' and will
prompt samba to reload its config.
