Public bug reported: Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04
winbind: Installed: 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.1 Candidate: 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.1 Version table: *** 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.1 0 500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages Upstart script seems to think winbindd_privileged lives in /var/run/samba, but it in fact lives in /var/lib/samba by default. This may have changed in an upstream samba release. Error in upstart script masks issue by creating winbindd_privileged directory in the wrong place, and then fails to correct the permissions on the actual winbindd_privileged directory, so users that are members of winbindd_priv can't access the socket. /etc/init/samba: pre-start script test -x /usr/sbin/winbindd || exit 0 mkdir -p /var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged chgrp winbindd_priv /var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged chmod 0750 /var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged end script should be changed to pre-start script test -x /usr/sbin/winbindd || exit 0 mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged chgrp winbindd_priv /var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged chmod 0750 /var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged end script Official documentation states http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html: winbindd privileged socket directory (G) This setting controls the location of the winbind daemon's privileged socket. Default: winbindd privileged socket directory = $prefix/lib/winbindd_privileged Default is definitely /var/lib. Package's smb.conf does not set winbindd privileged socket directory nor has it ever AFAIK. ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1330220 Title: Winbind upstart script uses incorrect path to winbindd_privileged To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1330220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
