On my fully patched (today) Lucid installation this problem persists, both with samba and avahi. I still suspect upstart to be the sinner, but I haven't had time to dig through the logs yet. Since this happened to me with several network services (Ubuntu box is server for PCs and Macs) and both daemons fail to start automatically, I do not think this is an smbd issue, but rather that this is a symptom pf events in upstart not triggering during boot. Can someone prove me wrong who relies on rc scripts rather than upstart events for starting these services?
