Description Mathieu Simon 2017-02-16 09:24:49 CET

The information text of the UCR variable samba/share/netlogon/path is misleading

Discovered in UCS 4.1-4 Errata 396:
----
samba/share/netlogon/path: <empty>
 This variable allows the configuration of the directory for the Netlogon share. If the variable is unset, /var/lib/samba/netlogon/ is used.
 Categories: service-samba
----

The template /etc/univention/files/etc/samba/base.conf says:
default_netlogon_path = '/var/lib/samba/sysvol/%s/scripts' % configRegistry.get('kerberos/realm', '').lower()

If not set, the default actually leads to the following value i.e:
/var/lib/samba/sysvol/myucs.example.org/scripts

Please fix the description text to i.e.

This variable allows the configuration of the directory for the Netlogon share. If the variable is unset, /var/lib/samba/netlogon/<kerberos/realm>/scripts is used.

Best regards
Mathieu Simon, Adfinis SyGroup

This issue has been filled against UCS 4.1. The maintenance with bug and security fixes for UCS 4.1 has ended on 5st of April 2018.

Customers still on UCS 4.1 are encouraged to update to UCS 4.3. Please contact
your partner or Univention for any questions.

If this issue still occurs in newer UCS versions, please use "Clone this bug" or simply reopen the issue. In this case please provide detailed information on how this issue is affecting you.

Hi Stefan

This issue is still present in 4.3-3 therefore I'd like to renew my request.

I ran in the same problem:

ucr info samba/share/netlogon/path
samba/share/netlogon/path: <empty>
 This variable allows the configuration of the directory for the Netlogon share. If the variable is unset, /var/lib/samba/netlogon/ is used.
 Categories: service-samba

Adding a new script via windows in the netlogon share of the master, the script shows up in /var/lib/samba/sysvol/schein.ig/scripts/ on the filesystem, but not in /var/lib/samba/netlogon/scripts/ as i would expect, according to the description of the ucr variable.


Still in UCS 4.4 an Issue

Reported by customer, adjusting UP because time-consuming investigation was needed.
