[SOLVED] Only first device can connect to Samba after restart

[Nachteule]

After a short test (usually I do not use SAMBA on XBian), I can confirm this issue.

The reason is, smbd process is spawned by inetd process, and this seems not working correctly under Stretch.

For a quick fix, you can

1) disable smbd via inetd: comment out two lines in fild /etc/inetd.conf like this

Code:

###netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/smbd smbd
###microsoft-ds stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/smbd smbd

2) comment out RUN_MODE line in file /etc/default/samba

Code:

#RUN_MODE="inetd"

3) make sure that /etc/init/smbd.conf looks like this:

Code:

description "SMB/CIFS File Server"
author      "Steve Langasek <steve.langasek@ubuntu.com>"

start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up)
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn

pre-start script
        [ -r /etc/default/samba ] && . /etc/default/samba

        install -o root -g root -m 755 -d /var/run/samba
end script

exec smbd -F

and is not empty

4) reboot
