Comment 6 for bug 951087

> The upstart configuration for samba makes the assumption that you are not using this configuration i.e. it assumes that samba will deal with binding to all interfaces.

It shouldn't do that.

> It would be good to confirm this - please could you attach the log files for smbd and smbd from /var/log/samba to this bug report.

level 10 logs forthcoming

That does help but shouldn't be necessary for such an important package. What if I was dealing with eth1 instead, then the line has to be edited. Plus is the override file guaranteed to work through various upgrades? If not then server stability is really in question.

> I'm downgrading this bug to 'Low' as its very specific to the way you are using samba and marking 'Incomplete' pending your response on the above.

Actually a pretty standard way to use Samba. And it's anything but "Low" when your Samba box is a PDC or file/print server for many users. Suggest this bug in Ubuntu finally get fixed.
