Description Lon Hohberger 2002-09-30 16:38:29 UTC 
Description of Problem:
When a service is created without at least one service IP address, SMB shares on
that service do not work.  This is because the default smb.conf.<sharename> is
generated with the expectation that at least one IP address in the service
configuration.

So, instead of the line:

        interfaces = 10.1.1.2/255.255.255.0

this is placed in the default smb.conf.<sharename>:

        interfaces = NULL

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.11

How Reproducible: Always.


Steps to Reproduce: Add a service with no IP addresses and one disk device.  Be
sure to enable samba sharing.

Actual Results: Share does not work properly because nmbd does not start.

Expected Results: Clean start; working share.
Comment 1 Lon Hohberger 2002-09-30 16:40:25 UTC 
This can be fixed one of two ways:

(1) Don't specify a Samba share without specifying an IP address.
(2) Remove the following line from smb.conf.<sharename>:

        interfaces = NULL

Cluadmin explicitly notes to modify the configuration file when it is first created.
Comment 2 Lon Hohberger 2002-11-12 13:43:42 UTC 
Since this is a user/configuration error, I won't fix this unless it becomes a
real problem.
