[Samba] Serious NMB-Problem in Samba 3.0.0

[Bernd Zimmermann]

Hello,

I have a serious problem in Samba 3.0.0 which was not in Samba 2.2.x !

After a few hours running the nmbd is shutting down:

Log is as follows:
---snipp---

  reload_interfaces: No subnets to listen to. Shutting down...
---snipp---

At this time the Samba-Server is the only server on the subnet.
If a PC is online and there is traffic on the net this does not happen.
It seens to me that this must be a bug, because I dont think that
nmbd shut shut down only because of no traffic.
Also this behaviour does not happen in Samba 2.2.x - only since
I upgraded to Samba 3.0.0

I am currently using Debian/testing Package Samba-3.0.0-final1

Can anybody help, or perhaps a Samab Developer clarify the
situation ?
I habe a cron job - restarting Samba every 60 minutes, but I
think this would not be the best solution :-/

Thanks in advance,
Bernd
