bug, smb 2.2.1a, redhat 7.2

[5468696A6D656E]

i am not sure whether this is by default or not, but i think i found a tiny bug. (maybe by design, i am not a samba guru)

Steps to reproduce:
Create a loopback device without asigning an ip to it. 
(not sure whether it is also reproducable without the loopback device at all)

set in smb.conf:
bind interfaces only = yes
interfaces = yourip

According to what i could find in the docs it should now only use the ip of interfaces.

But it will not let you connect. If you connect with windows it will write something in the log log.smbd like:
 smbd/oplock.c:init_oplocks(1205)
  open_oplock_ipc: Failed to get local UDP socket for address 100007f. Error was Cannot assign requested address

Looking at the code  it seems it is allways trying to open a socket on 127.0.0.1
open_socket_in(SOCK_DGRAM, 0, 0, htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK),False)

But surely, if you specify "bind interfaces only" to yes and interfaces does not have 127.0.0.1 it should not try that?

Off course, bug or not, it is not severe. Idiots like me who sometimes do not have a loopback device are rare.

Hope this helps,
kind regards,

Thijmen
