Common SAMBA Errors

Recently my SAMBA server started crashing giving bellow errors in logs;

standard input is not a socket, assuming -D option
[2013/08/30 09:06:22.619250,  0] ../source3/smbd/server.c:1280(main)

Google didn't help me as well as my previous SAMBA experiences couldn't come up with a solution. Luckily I found this forum post and yes... he maid my day....

vim /etc/sysfconfig/samba
and edit;
SMBDOPTIONS="-D"

So according to the man page of smbd -D causes the server to operate as a daemon.
