Description TAKAHASHI Motonobu 2008-12-15 12:39:51 UTC 
It seems that "testparm -L" does not work.

How to reproduce:

(1) make smb.conf

[global]
  server string = %L

(2) run "testparm -L foobar"

(3) expected output is :

-----
[global]
  server string = foobar
-----

but actually the output is:

-----
[global]
  server string = %L

Changing component.

Can confirm that this is still an issue in 3.5.1.

At 3.5.2, it does not work well yet.

Do you really depend on this feature? I've taken a quick look, but I think it would take more than a few minutes to fix this. I'd rather go and dump it.

Actually, do not.
I examined every parameter of testparm and found it.

If you will not want to fix this, I think simply to remove -L parameter is the best.

Fixed. -L is gone :-)

Thanks,
