Description Unknown 2004-11-10 20:00:40 UTC
testparm reports that 'passwd program' entry in configuration file is missing '%
u' parameter when it very clearly is not. See screen capture below. Samba v3.0.7 
did not do this. I had uninstalled v3.0.7 and then installed v3.0.8,1, but 
changed nothing else in the system.

System is PII-233 running FreeBSD v4.10 with two independent instances of Samba 
v3.08,1 on two separate ethernet interfaces. There are no directories or 
configuration files shared by the two instances, aside from the binaries. One 
interface is an actual hardware NIC. The other is virtual (tap driver plus 
OpenVPN in bridging mode). There is no routing or bridging between the two 
interfaces - they are as isolated as I know how to make them.

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
