Description Nerijus Baliūnas 2015-10-11 10:44:32 UTC

After F22->23 upgrade smb fails to start:
# systemctl start smb
Job for smb.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status smb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

# systemctl status smb
● smb.service - Samba SMB Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/smb.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sk 2015-10-11 13:32:14 EEST; 4s ago
  Process: 2448 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smbd $SMBDOPTIONS (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
 Main PID: 2448 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Only after upgrading to samba-4.3.0-1.fc23.x86_64.rpm I got /var/log/samba/log. file, which said:
[2015/10/11 13:32:50.806509,  0] ../lib/util/util.c:285(directory_create_or_exist_strict)
  invalid permissions on directory '/var/lib/samba/msg': has 0700 should be 0755

Changing /var/lib/samba/msg permissions or deleting /var/lib/samba/msg directory allowed smb to start.

Comment 6 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2015-10-14 07:03:58 UTC

Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 23-final by Fedora user pwalter using the blocker tracking app because:

 Would be good to ship with working smb.service

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2015-10-15 21:49:01 UTC

Discussed at 2015-10-15 freeze exception review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-10-15/f23-blocker-review.2015-10-15-20.11.log.txt . We tested, and it appears this is an upgrade-only issue: on a clean install of F23, the samba from current stable (0.1.rc4) starts up fine. Upgrades always use the repos anyway, so there's no need for a freeze exception to fix the upgrade case, hence this is rejected (the update can go out as a 0-day and upgrades on release day will work).

samba-4.3.0-3.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
