Ok, thanks. It turns out the only thing that's needed in order to reproduce this problem is to have an empty /etc/resolv.conf; somehow my earlier testing didn't turn this up, but now that I have this I can reproduce the error regardless of the samba config.
Which let me find the problem with the fix in karmic-proposed: NetworkManager helpfully doesn't set a proper value for the $ADDRFAM variable, it sets it to "NetworkManager" instead. Now that I know this, I'll have an updated package uploaded to -proposed shortly. -- nmbd dies on startup when network interfaces are not up yet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- 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
