Public bug reported:
This is part of the long story trying to fix
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/2078854.
During the back and forth patching python/samba/netcmd/gpo.py, a bug was
found, fixed, and it's back: when updating the motd GPO, the new text is
added, instead of replacing the existing one:
$ sudo cat
/var/lib/samba/sysvol/example.internal/Policies/{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}/MACHINE/VGP/VTLA/Unix/MOTD/manifest.xml
| xq
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<vgppolicy>
<policysetting>
<version>1</version>
<name>Text File</name>
<description>Represents a Generic Text File</description>
<apply_mode>replace</apply_mode>
<data>
<filename>motd</filename>
<text>Welcome</text>
<text>Welcome</text>
<text>Welcome again</text>
</data>
</policysetting>
</vgppolicy>
Multiple invocations of this command will do that:
$ sudo samba-tool gpo manage motd set
{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9} "Welcome" -U Administrator
