Improve Checks in Samba Initscript
Last modified: 2020-07-03 20:51:57 CEST
The current samba init-script samba-ad-dc uses testparm to confirm wether its a domaincontroller: SERVER_ROLE=`samba-tool testparm --parameter-name="server role" 2>/dev/null | tail -1` if [ "$SERVER_ROLE" != "active directory domain controller" ]; then echo "Samba is not configured as AD DC." exit 0 fi The check potentially fails udner various circumstances where samba could be started without any problem. For example if there are problems with specific share configurations. As a result the samba domaincontroller completey loses its functionaluty instead of just having minor issues with _one share. The check should be improved/changed
Yeah, this sucks, I agree. We should think about a better way and push a patch to the Debian packaging team. Let's bear in mind that all this restructuring of samba+smbd+nmbd from one source package is fairly new. If you have more recommendations for improvement here don't hesitate to bring the forward.
In Ticket# 2017021021000308 we had a share configured with double spaces. In this case the UMC should not allow this.
I've moved Comment 2 to the more specific Bug 38688.
