I have been using it for years but this morning I discovered a problem. I have had a static ip on the Milan because I couldn't get dhcp working. This morning I got it working with a one line change :-) However, it seems that this breaks samba (nmb) Version 3.0.1-1 I had this line in smb.conf interfaces = 192.168.0.21/24 127.0.0.1/8 which I replaced with interfaces = rtk0 Now when I start samba, the nmb log shows: [2010/08/23 15:38:55, 0] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:create_subnets(218) create_subnets: Waiting for an interface to appear ... [2010/08/23 15:39:00, 0] lib/interface.c:load_interfaces(216) WARNING: no network interfaces found [2010/08/23 15:39:05, 0] lib/interface.c:load_interfaces(216) WARNING: no network interfaces found Googling shows there was an AMD64 bug with the same sort of issue in samba 3.0.23 This is later than the samba we have which was built in 2004. The current version 3.5.4 The samba docs hint that interface = 192.168.0.0/24 would work but it doesn't. Using a fixed ip in samba works but that defeats the object of dhcp. >smbd -d 10 -i ... file /etc/samba/smb.conf -> /etc/samba/smb.conf last mod_time: Mon Aug 23 16:09:03 2010 added interface ip=192.168.0.251 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 Hash size = 521.
