I'm starting samba from rc.local (since I had problem doing it from
inetd.conf in the early days) and I specify the broadcast address
since the samba code had some problems with traversing the if structures
and obtaining the broadcast address of an interface. This may have become
better but I haven't looked at the code recently.
in /etc/rc.local:
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -B 131.126.21.255 -S -D -G IPHY
^^^ ^^^ ^^| ^your netbios group name
|put your network address here
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D
