Description of problem:
In the even there is no /etc/samba/smb.conf, an unhandled exception is raised saying that there is no permission to run pdbedit

How reproducible:
100% if there is no /etc/samba/smb.conf

2. Start system-config-samba
  
Actual results:

Comment 1 Arthur Pemberton 2009-05-04 06:29:58 UTC

There have been no responses to this issue. I understand that this may be considered a corner case, but the config tool should at least alert the user of why it can't run successfully. Is there anything I can do to help with this issue?

Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2009-05-28 08:43:00 UTC

Sorry, this somehow went under my radar. I've verified the problem and this really should be fixed -- s-c-samba contains a template smb.conf which it should use in such cases.

Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2009-05-28 09:38:50 UTC

fixed in upstream git repository

Comment 8 Arthur Pemberton 2009-05-31 02:16:05 UTC

Tested system-config-samba.noarch 1.2.67-3.fc10 with no /etc/samba/smb.conf, crash was as expected.

Updated to system-config-samba.noarch 0:1.2.76-1.fc10 and GUI was able to load, and fixed the problem of missing /etc/samba/smb.conf

Issues resolved.
