Raghavendra Talur 2014-01-06 09:14:00 UTC Doc Text Cause: If user has modified smb.conf and if default smb.conf file has changed in samba package then the new file is saved as smb.conf.rpmnew. Also, we compulsorily introduce a line in smb.conf during which we make a backup of it as smb.conf.rpmsave.

Consequence: This leads to two extra backup files.
1. smb.conf.rpmnew
2. smb.conf.rpmsave


Fix:
We ensure that no backup file is need when we are introducing the line in smb.conf.

Result: This way samba-common package in RHS behaves exactly like generic samba-common package. It will create only one backup smb.conf file.

Previously, if you modified the smb.conf file and if you updated to a new version samba package having a new version of smb.conf file, you would see two new backup files namely, smb.conf.rpmnew and smb.conf.rpmsave. With this update, only a single backup smb.conf file is created after SAMBA package update.
