Description Martin Rehak 2026-03-18 12:06:40 UTC 
Hello,

I am getting 4 lines on Solaris into smb.conf.5:

$ grep mrehak usr/share/man/man5/smb.conf.5
\fI\fIdns update command\fR\fR\fI = \fR\fI/builds/mrehak/samba/components/samba/build/amd64/source4/scripting/bin/samba_dnsupdate\fR\fI \fR
\fI\fIgpo update command\fR\fR\fI = \fR\fI/builds/mrehak/samba/components/samba/build/amd64/source4/scripting/bin/samba\-gpupdate\fR\fI \fR
\fI\fIsamba kcc command\fR\fR\fI = \fR\fI/builds/mrehak/samba/components/samba/build/amd64/source4/scripting/bin/samba_kcc\fR\fI \fR
\fI\fIspn update command\fR\fR\fI = \fR\fI/builds/mrehak/samba/components/samba/build/amd64/source4/scripting/bin/samba_spnupdate\fR\fI \fR

The grep was run in prototype directory where samba is instructed to perform 'make install'.

This is the line I see in the build log:

I have found some effort around this in Debian few years ago:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13198

I have commented out the SCRIPTSBINDIR in dynconfig/wscript and it works well now, but I think this is not a fix. Also I see the get_override() mechanism through which the build environment is getting there. So I assume the man page is either not get updated during install phase or there is something else wrong in the logic.

What am I doing wrong? What do you need from me to help you debug the issue and find the root cause, please?

Thank you,
