smbd has to be restarted on boot

Question

For some reason, smbd never seems to start correctly when the server starts. Simply calling /etc/init.d/smbd restart works great, but is there a way that I can either fix the underlying issue or add /etc/init.d/smbd restart to a cron? I just can't seem to figure out how to add the restart parameter.

On what OS do you work? When do the log messages you posted appear? — Sven, Jul 24 '12 at 13:28

Check to make sure smbd is starting after cups.

How can I check/alter that? – bswinnerton Jul 24 '12 at 13:39
Under Linux (assuming sysv-style init, not systemd) the number prefixing the init script in /etc/rc[0-S].d/ indicates the order it starts in. – Vikki Roemer Jul 26 '12 at 21:07
