Maybe make the rc scripts check for it?
The plot thickens a bit - according to the original post and the test program supplied, one should have the same problem with FreeBSD (13 at least) and OpenBSD. I haven't gone yet through the test on OpenBSD (the Samba version supplied by its ports system is 4.9 still), but I bootstrapped pkgsrc on a clean FreeBSD 13.0 system and built, among the other stuff, Samba 4.14.4 (4.13.x is available using the new pkg system). It works as expected, so it would appear the problem is NetBSD-specific. > > Martin I guess it is interesting enough to bootstrap pkgsrc on OpenBSD and test it there as well. Chavdar -- ----
