I've amended the bug description to include the SRU details, as specified in <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates>, based on Mario's comment above.
However, we cannot SRU a bug that is unfixed in the current development release of Ubuntu. As of present, the vivid series ships 2:4.1.13+dfsg- 4ubuntu3. So, first this bug needs to be fixed in the development release. As we're in a pre-release freeze for vivid (and feature freeze has been in effect for a long time), someone would need to prepare a patch against the current version in vivid that implements this change **and only this change**, and would need the release managers to approve a feature freeze exception. Since samba is such a critical package, it would be in my opinion exceedingly irresponsible to introduce new functionality to Samba on such a short timescale. As such, I recommend that this be addressed in V+1. At that point, the easiest option to deploy this feature to the LTS would be to provide it in backports; alternatively, if the SRU team believes this feature addition is critical enough to provide in a stable release update, the relevant functionality would need to be prepared as a patch against the version in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.7. ** Information type changed from Public to Public Security -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1442039 Title: bad password lockout not available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba4/+bug/1442039/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
