openSUSE uses a script to update the smbd profile based on the samba config - with the advantage for users that it "just works"[tm] and the advantage for me that I don't get bugreports about the smbd profile anymore ;-)
Maybe Ubuntu wants to steal ;-) this script? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545061 Title: Samba profile in Lucid prevents smbd from accessing /srv/samba Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: apparmor Official documentation for 9.10 ( https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html ) recommends to create folders to share in /srv/samba/ - however, it seems that the apparmor profile for smbd is preventing it to access that folder, therefore making it impossible to share folders in that folder unless the smbd profile is turned off or in complain mode. Maybe a warning in smb.conf about apparmor restricting the folders smbd can share would be worth it too? I can imagine quite a few people having issues sharing folders outside of /srv, not imagining apparmor would be blocking that :) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/545061/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
