Description

Since F8 the smbpasswd file is located in /var/lib/samba/private so here's the problem that i've been encountering... in the install script from the rpm, there's a clause that moves smbpasswd from the old location to the newer location. that's fine and well-intentioned, but the test to determine if smb.conf has set smbpasswd's location is reckless...
I had it set this way...
passdb backend = smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd
and the install script seems to want it this way...
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
and here is the code that I believe ought to have been more robust...
but now this change in smbpasswd's default location is so old, that I don't know why it's still around...
#smbpasswd
if [ -f /etc/samba/smbpasswd ]; then
eval testparm -s 2>/dev/null |grep "smb passwd file" >/dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
echo "Warning: smbpasswd file location explicitly set. Not moving smbpasswd to new d
efault location"
else
if [ -f /var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd ]; then
mv -f /var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd /var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd.old
fi
mv -f /etc/samba/smbpasswd /var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd
fi
fi
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
