That is what I suspected, hence my reference to the dhcpd discussion. From my 
understanding, samba would have required a patch to conform but all I did was 
a kernel update. Prior to kernel update:

[2008/04/02 19:04:07, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(697)
  Netbios nameserver version 3.0.26a started.

[2008/04/02 19:04:08, 0] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:create_subnets(190)
  create_subnets: No local interfaces !
[2008/04/02 19:04:08, 0] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:create_subnets(191)
  create_subnets: Waiting for an interface to appear ...
[2008/04/02 19:35:12, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:reload_interfaces(229)
  reload_interfaces: No subnets to listen to. Shutting down...

And post kernel update:

[2008/04/03 17:12:20, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(697)

The samba version never changed. This probably makes sense to somebody ;)
