Samba service does not stop

[Mikael Willberg]

Trying to stop samba service does nothing, other services seem to work. This is clean installation from "ubuntu-14.04-server-amd64.iso" with just openssh, lamp, samba selected in the installation menu.

Someone might have interest looking into empty response when apache2 was stopped
"leaking memory" is also related to samba = bug 1257186

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

You need to stop smbd and nmbd individually. The "samba" alias to two services and confusing interaction with the init.d script has the same underlying cause as bug 1321369, so I'll mark this as a duplicate.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
