OK, not exactly a samba issue but maybe the Ubuntu maintainer reads this list and can provide some input.
Problem: Ubuntu doesn't daemonize smbd. System: Ubuntu Lucid where a recent update moved many startup scripts into the "upstart" system. Now smbd is started and runs as "smbd -F". If I edit the upstart script (/etc/init/smbd.conf) so that it runs as "smbd -D" (the default and what I would like) it doesn't work. I see no inet.d running so I have no clue how it works at all like this. Also this change to upstart did not resolve the problem of nmbd not starting correctly, it just nullified the script I had in rc.local to restart nmbd (guess I will rewrite this). On the plus side, I am thankful that I have continued to avoid Ubuntu as a candidate in any critical server role.
