Setup: install smbd in host and lxd-container.

Now restart smbd in host:

service smbd restart
All is OK.
Problem: nmap shows "closed" on ports 139 and 445. And users cannot use smbd server in host.

ps axf | grep smbd:

25356 pts/2 S+ 0:00 | \_ grep --color=auto smbd
19915 ? Ss 0:08 \_ /usr/sbin/smbd -D
19919 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/smbd -D

However, netstat -tpln | grep "smbd" returns nothing and also nmap shows "closed" on ports 139 and 445.

Workaround:
change /etc/init.d/smbd:
 if ! start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec /usr/sbin/smbd -- -D ; then

to

 if ! start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/samba/smbd.pid --exec /usr/sbin/smbd -- -D ; then
