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 Michal Ambroz
