Description Miguel Medalha 2016-04-20 23:10:29 UTC
Samba build does not honor "--with-privileged-socket-dir=" configuration option.

Not only is the default not honored but even whith an explicit build time configuration of

--with-privileged-socket-dir=/usr/local/samba/var/lib

the final location still is "/usr/local/samba/var/winbindd_privileged" instead of "/usr/local/samba/var/lib/winbindd_privileged".


Yet, "samba -b" reports:

WINBINDD_PRIVILEGED_SOCKET_DIR: /usr/local/samba/var/lib/winbindd_privileged


Both "testparm -sv" and "samba-tool testparm -v" give "winbindd privileged socket directory = /usr/local/samba/var/lib/winbindd_privileged", which is clearly not the case.
Comment 1 Andrew Bartlett 2017-01-03 08:44:45 UTC
It does, but only for the ntp socket, not the winbindd socket, as this is placed under the state directory (for historical reasons, so we can't change it).


Sorry,
