You do need 'interfaces', 'socket address' *and* 'bind interfaces only'.
But the 'bind interfaces only' is engaged much later when nmbd decides
to ignore a packet ment for another virtual interface. The first
"bastion" you get stopped at is 'socket address'. Did you try to trace
system calls? Just before the bind (the one that fails) it should call
setsockopt and set SO_REUSEADDR option. Try to explicitely set 'socket
options = SO_REUSEADDR'. Try to comment out lines #873-876 in
lib/util_sock.c. Do you have lsof? What does it show if you run 'lsof -p
<21nmbd>'?

I have no idea. I run it on SPARC Solaris.
