Description Nils Philippsen 2008-08-27 09:18:32 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #460269 +++

Description of problem:
Samba ignores whitespace in its configuration parameters, treating "read only" the same as "readonly". But system-config-samba doesn't recognize the options without whitespace, ending with traceback.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-samba-1.2.41-3

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove whitespace from any smb.conf option name (i.e. "guest ok" ->"guestok")
2. check with testparm that samba is still happy with the altered option
3. run system-config-samba
  
Actual results:
traceback with AttributeError: ('guestok', 'yes') at the end

Expected results:
working system-config-samba

Additional info:
Recognizing "compacted" options is a documented feature of samba. See file format section of smb.conf manual page.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 09:41:29 UTC

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2010-04-27 12:12:48 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '11'.

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 11'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 11 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

Comment 5 Nils Philippsen 2010-04-28 15:13:18 UTC
Long since fixed in system-config-samba-1.2.70.
