I solved my problem. What made my situation different, I think, and caused my problem was the binding I made in /etc/samba/smb.conf under [global] to one of my interfaces. I did that as following: [global] bind interfaces only = yes interfaces = 192.168.123.123
I now changed the line with "start-on" in /etc/init/smbd.conf to the following start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0 and started udev-finish) Ssmdb now waits and it starts automatically when I boot my system and I don't need to start it manually anymore (finally) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771305 Title: smbd does not start on first boot with 20110426 -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
