This issue still affects Feisty running stock installations of samba. The issue is in samba but affects QEMU.
It appears the issue is that the samba packages for Debian/Ubuntu are compiled with the fhs.patch applied, which prevents samba from using a private secrets directory. There has been ongoing commentary for several years on the debian bug tracker: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=249873 Quote: but smbd with fhs.patch ignores private dir option, tries to open /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb instead of /tmp/qemu-smb.11289/secrets.tdb and fails because this file is closed for unprivileged user. -- samba can't be launched by a normal user (qemu related) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50385 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
