Description Marc Muehlfeld 2016-08-26 02:39:37 UTC 
Summary:
===========

If "samba-tool dbcheck" is started with a test name, not only this single test is executed.




Current result:
==================

The following command should only run one rule (fix_replmetadata_unsorted_attid):

# samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix --yes fix_replmetadata_unsorted_attid

Even if the command auto-fixes replPropertyMetaData problems, it stops for a different problem and waits for user input:

Fix replPropertyMetaData on CN=NTDS Settings,CN=DC1,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com by sorting the attribute list? [YES]
Fixed attribute 'replPropertyMetaData' of 'CN=NTDS Settings,CN=DC1,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=samdom,DC=example,DC=com'

[y/N/all/none]




Expected result:
===================

If started with a test name, samba-tool dbcheck should only find and fix problems matching the test; not others.

This appears to be by design, which I will admit is not extremely intuitive. 

Better would be to have the list as an argument value, like

 --yes='fix_replmetadata_unsorted_attid fix_all_DN_GUIDs' --no='*'
