Comment 1 Joachim Jaeckel 2011-12-15 21:54:04 UTC

samba-3.6.1-75.fc16.x86_64

Problem is in /lib/systemd/system/smb.service
PIDFile=/run/smbd.pid

But: smbd creates pidfile as /var/run/smbd.pid

Comment 2 Andreas Schneider 2012-01-02 12:22:01 UTC

This has already been fixed.

* Fri Nov 18 2011 Andreas Schneider <asn> - 1:3.6.1-76
- Fix piddir to match with systemd files.

Comment 3 Boris Nadezhdin 2012-01-31 16:43:36 UTC

i can reproduce this error in Version 3.6.1-77.fc16

Comment 4 Andrey Bondarenko 2012-09-15 10:14:54 UTC

I confirm it in samba-common-3.6.6-92.fc17.1.x86_64. Fix is trivial.

Comment 5 Neil Katin 2013-02-16 05:11:00 UTC

I ran across this issue today in f18, so it still exists.  I started a new bug in the hope that it will eventually get fixed...

It is bug #911819.
