That does help but shouldn't be necessary for such an important package. What if I was dealing with eth1 instead, then the line has to be edited. Plus is the override file guaranteed to work through various upgrades? If not then server stability is really in question.

Actually a pretty standard way to use Samba. And it's anything but "Low" when your Samba box is a PDC or file/print server for many users. Suggest this bug in Ubuntu finally get fixed.
