On a normal Debian system, the network is brought up in runlevel S (/etc/rcS.d/S40networking), whereas network servers such as samba aren't started until runlevel 2 (/etc/rc2.d/S20samba). Why is this not the case on your system? Even if you were letting NetworkManager handle all of your network interfaces, the loopback interface should still be brought up by /etc/rcS.d/S40networking, AFAIK. and that's sufficient to let smbd start, unless you have made some atypical changes to the 'interfaces' line in your smb.conf. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
