I'm not entirely certain that this was actually fixed on lucid, despite the changelog entry added to 2:3.4.3-2ubuntu2 ...
I look at the package branch at that revision, and it does not install /etc/network/if-up.d/samba. Likewise, now that I see bug #836849 reported, it would appear that what happened was, the file was added, installed into the right place in debian/rules, but not added to debian/samba.files + mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/etc/network/if-up.d + install -o root -g root debian/samba.if-up $(DESTDIR)/etc/network/if-up.d/samba This just makes it go into $DESTDIR , but it would need to be in debian/samba.files to make it into the package. Later, in a merge w/ Debian, this file *was* added to debian/samba.files So, on a lucid system, smbd is not actually started on ifup. Moving the status of the Lucid task back to "Triaged" based on this information, and marking bug #836849 as a duplicate of this bug. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: Fix Released => Triaged ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu Lucid) Milestone: lucid-alpha-3 => ubuntu-10.04.4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462169 Title: nmbd dies on startup when network interfaces are not up yet To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/samba/+bug/462169/+subscriptions -- 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
