 This doesn't solve the problem for the ntpdate init script, for example. There's a general problem that numbering scripts with numbers higher than rcS.d/S40networking doesn't mean that dhcp will have an IP by the time they run.

 That's why I wrote that little init script that waits until it can ping something before it returns, so the firestarter and ntp init scripts could work properly. If this problem goes away for samba because of something samba-specific way, this bug should be duplicated or a new one reported.
