Hello, I have quandary, I, thought, that I had successfully gotten nmbd
to respond to queries and provide information across subnets using the
interfaces parameter in smb.conf :

interfaces = hme0 10.13.32.0/24 10.13.32.33.0/24

But upon a reboot due to a power failure nmbd failed to start and
logged this error:

[2003/06/30 08:29:47, 3] nmbd/nmbd.c:(550)
     open_sockets: Broadcast sockets opened.
[2003/06/30 08:29:47, 2] lib/interface.c:(81)

[2003/06/30 08:29:47, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:(872)

Can someone provide an interpretation of this? Is the interfaces
parameter correct? What is the correct entry?
