nmbd demon does not start when my openSUSE 12.2 system is booted.
Please try the following commands as user root: tail -f /var/log/samba/log.nmbd [2013/08/05 19:18:14, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:861(main) nmbd version 3.6.12-59.5.1-2980-SUSE-SL12.3-x86_64 started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2011 In a second shell you can check if the nmb daemon is running. hip:~ # pidof nmbd 29632 and/ or hip:~ # systemctl status nmb.service nmb.service - LSB: Samba NetBIOS naming service over IP Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/nmb) Active: active (running) since Mon, 2013-08-05 19:18:14 CEST; 1min 59s ago Process: 29599 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/nmb stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 29623 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/nmb start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/nmb.service └ 29632 /usr/sbin/nmbd -D -s /etc/samba/smb.conf Aug 05 19:18:14 hip systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Samba NetBIOS naming service over IP...

From the output you might get a hint what was going wrong at the system startup. If it's not running replace 'status' by 'start' to try to start the service now. The 'LSB:' after nmb.service shows us we're not yet using/ packaging a native nmb service file. That's on our todo list.
smbd demon starts normally.
This is openSUSE 12.2 with up to date kernel and samba packages, using systemd init.

How can I fix this?
I can provide logs if I'm told which ones.
See http://en.opensuse.org/Samba in particular the section labled 'Samba bug reporting and advanced debugging information'. Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
