Bug#1090974: nmbd.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.
Hi everyone, I was also being affected by this. I find nmbd useful to be able to just refer to the machines by their names in controlled local networks, with a very simple setup. When I applied the suggested workaround, I seemed to lose that functionality. By inspecting the output of systemd-analyze critical-chain I found another way - just disable the winbind service: systemctl disable winbind The boot time is thus much reduced and the name resolution offered by nmbd continues working as before. I see no degradation to any other function, so this seems to be fine for my case. Regards, -- Luís Picciochi Oliveira

Are you sure you actually need it? add 'disable netbios = yes' to the '[global]' section of samba.conf, and it wont start anymore (or just disable the systemd service). I remind both reporters of this bug, that I'm still waiting for the answer to this question - does it work for you with no nmbd running? netbios is obsolete and can't work in environments where no IPv4 network is available. To me it is easier to just drop nmbd from the default config and be done with it, while for "proper" fix it might require quite a lot of additional tweaking. Thanks, /mjt
