New question #292198 on samba in Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/292198

Smbd service is not starting in samba. Tried reinstalling samba package which did not help. Dmesg logs these messages and exit 127 is an anonymous error which is of not much in troubleshooting issue. 

[100422.925336] init: smbd main process (2352) terminated with status 127
[100422.925356] init: smbd main process ended, respawning

[100422.999061] init: smbd main process (2368) terminated with status 127
[100422.999082] init: smbd respawning too fast, stopped


$service samba status
 * nmbd is running
 * smbd is not running

smbd start/pre-start, process 3845
