A solution for the future can be the use of the network-services event. It is mentioned in the upstart cookbook (http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#networkservices) and Bug #701576 also target the introduction of this event.
In the cookbook it is "announced" for 11.10. I checked the existence of the network-services event with Ubuntu 12.10 by starting Ubuntu with the debug switch. But I can not find the network-services event in /var/log/dmesg where all triggered events are listed. So I guess the network-services event is still not implemented. In the case the network-services event gets added, smbd should use it to fix this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/823878 Title: "bind interfaces only" requires a manual change to /etc/init/smbd.conf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/823878/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
