Description spaceman 2010-12-01 19:44:03 UTC

Description of problem: NMB service searches for network upon boot, finds none, and process dies, while network should be waiting for Samba to start a few processes down the boot chain.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Constantine, Laughlin


How reproducible: Stand back and watch it boot and die


Steps to Reproduce:Install Fedora 13 or 14
1.Set up Samba
2.Boot Machine
3.Have no network available every time
  
Actual results: Shares are not available


Expected results: Shares automatically available


Additional info: There is a simple quick fix for this.  Edit /etc/sysconfig/network by adding the line NETWORKWAIT=yes to the file.  Then when Fedora boots, and starts NMB, it waits until Samba starts and sees the network, and shares are restored.  

Please fix this, this is a serious deal-breaker for new Linux users switching from Windows, if they can't get their machines to talk, Windows wins.

I believe this issue is not related to nmbscan but to samba itself or networking startscripts.

Reassigning.

In the meanwhile ... please could you post the configuration of samba?
/etc/samba/smb.conf? 

Have you modified the configuration after installing the samba package or is it default one?

Could you add also the network configuration?
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (if present)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 (if present)

Best regards
