Hello! I am trying to use environment variables in my samba configuration file. The %$() directive does not seem to work consistently. Do I misunderstand something?
As a success example, "include = %$(SVCDIR)/conf/smb-shares.conf" works fine. Logging with debuglevel = 3 indicates successful inclusion of the secondary file. However, as a failure example, "interfaces = %$(INTERFACES)" does not work at all, and I get an error such as: interpret_string_addr_internal: getaddrinfo failed for name %$(INTERFACES) > [Name or service not known] > interpret_interface: Can't find address for %$(INTERFACES) > As another failure example, pointing to a passdb backend using "passdb backend = tdbsam:%$(SVCDIR)/conf/smbusers" fails to substitute the environment variable similarly, to wit: tdb(unnamed): tdb_open_ex: could not open file %$(SVCDIR)/conf/smbusers: No > such file or directory > Could not open tdb: No such file or directory > tdbsam_open: Failed to open/create TDB passwd [%$(SVCDIR)/conf/smbusers] > tdbsam_getsampwnam: failed to open %$(SVCDIR)/conf/smbusers! What gives? Am I doing something wrong? Shouldn't %$() do a substitution anywhere it is supplied?
