Hello:
I have a very similar problem to this one:
http://fixunix.com/networking/526438-problem-samba-wont-start-because-vmware...
Excerpt from the above thread:
"smb and nmb boot scripts fail to start smbd and nmbd.
Samba is configured to only listen to the host-only network interface from VMware at vmnet1:192.168.230.1. I think what happens is that the vmnet1 interface doesn't appear until after the smb and nmb scripts run, so the smbd/nmbd die. However, when I manually do /etc/init.d/smb restart after my system is fully up, then Samba starts just fine and works too.
How to make Samba wait a bit for the vmnet1 interface to appear?"
There is no working solution at the above site, so I am asking the question >>here.
Thanks, Istvan
Are you talking about Linux running in a virtual machine? Are you talking about Linux running as the Host?
Sorry, I forgot to mention. I am running openSUSE 10.3 as host. I have VMware 5.5.3 workstation installed on this linux system. Samba version is: samba-client-3.0.26a-3.7 yast2-samba-server-2.15.7-57 yast2-samba-client-2.15.11-33 samba-winbind-3.0.26a-3.7 samba-3.0.26a-3.7 kdebase3-samba-3.5.10-102.1 Samba is set in yast to startup at boot.
