I can move this tmpfile to samba-common. But this only solves the problem under systemd. Also, we must ensure that systemd-tmpfiles is run (after samba-common install, and of course on boot). I see two solutions: - Move this snipset to samba-common (with proper Breaks:) and ensure systemd-tmpfiles is called on postinst, or - Move lockdir to /var/lib/samba (optionally in a subdir) Solution 1 will have non-working smbclient on non-systemd systems. solution 2 will have lock files not purged on reboot. Also, as smbclient can be run as non-root, we need a more generic solution... Thoughts? Regards Mathieu Parent
