Re: [Question #251439]: Why is Samba listening? How started? Safe to Uninstall?
Question #251439 on samba in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/251439
alienheartbeat posted a new comment:
thanks for an extremely helpful answer.
Wasn't sure which dpkg option you meant
but:
sudo dpkg --search "samba"
showed it is started by cron.daily
The dpkg log was too large to pinpoint an answer (8,000 lines on that day)
but pointed to a few plausible offenders.
What eventually turned up the answer was:
apt-cache --installed rdepends samba
which showed winbind now depends on samba (it didn't in 12.04)
and wine1.6 depends on winbind.
Funny that
aptitude show wine1.6
and apt-cache show wine1.6
and Muon package manager
all just show that wine1.6 **recommends** winbind
but **does not** depend on it.
Wonder if there is a packaging bug in there?
I checked the wine ppa to see if I could go back to wine 1.4 or 1.5
but they don't seem to be built for 14.04.
So what I might do is after I have configured and tested my progs on wine1.6
is to just uninstall samba and see how it goes.
In any event I can likely remove the cron.daily starting of samba with no ill effects.
Again, thanks for the help.
