[Gllug] nmbd shutdown

[Bob Sullivan]

Can you help.  Is there a way to keep nmbd live when there is no connection to 
eth0.

OS is Mandrake Linux Official 10 with Samba 3.0.2.

We have found the service stops about 2-3 mins after we disconnect the network 
cable (cable is disconnected for maintenance or security issues).  We never 
had this problem, that we are aware of before ver 10.

Is there a command switch to set the service permanently on?

On another issue we liked the facility in Redhat 8 (setup as a file server) 
where users could have access via Samba to files on the server - but were 
prevented from logging on locally by changing the shell to nologon.  We have 
been unable to achieve this with Mandrake.  Any suggestions.


Regards,
Bob
