Hello folks, It's my yearly bug triage day on bugs reported against the samba package in Debian (http://qa.debian.org/data/bts/graphs/s/samba.png shows that I'm losing the battle against all these damn bug submitters..:-))
I went on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=424405 where the bug submitter complains about samba keeping connections alive forever and thus cluttering netstat tables. As samba packagers, we took the stance of not changing upstream defaults unless there is a very good reasons for that (either something specific to Debian or something we completely disagree with our respected upstream). So, we are reluctant to change the default value of "deadtime" and I'd just like to get a rationale for this parameter to not be set to some "reasonable" value by default. Answers like "please define 'reasonable value'" are perfectly OK..:-) -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
