Happens intermittently on our Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS 64-bit systems. I just checked 2 machines where smbd was not started after a reboot. I notice the same "smbd respawning too fast, stopped" in /var/log/syslog. This message is appearing up to12 seconds prior to Network Manager acquiring an IP address, etc. So to me it looks like samba is failing cause the network is not established yet. Should smbd go to sleep and try again in a few minutes?
