Description Martin Schwenke 2026-01-21 23:49:36 UTC 
smb.conf(5) says:

> If you set clustering=yes, you need to tell Samba where ctdbd listens on its 
> unix domain socket. The default path as of ctdb 1.0 is /tmp/ctdb.socket which 
> you have to explicitly set for Samba in smb.conf. 

We're well past CTDB 1.0 and this option no longer needs to be set (outside a test environment).
