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

[Adrien Beau]

This bug is still present in 14.04 LTS. Putting the following line in
/etc/init/smbd.override solves it for me:

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

(Putting this line in /etc/init/smbd.conf also works of course.)

Why can't this line be included in the standard smbd.conf that ships
with Ubuntu? The only downside I can see is that on computers which only
have a loopback interface, Samba will not start. But why would someone
want to use Samba in such a configuration?
