** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+  * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and justification
+    for backporting the fix to the stable release.
+ 
+  * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an
+    explanation of how the upload fixes this bug.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+  * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug
+ 
+  * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected
+    package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package
+    fixes the problem.
+ 
+  * if other testing is appropriate to perform before landing this
+    update, this should also be described here.
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+  * Think about what the upload changes in the software. Imagine the
+    change is wrong or breaks something else: how would this show up?
+ 
+  * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
+    upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
+    to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the event
+    of a regression.
+ 
+  * This must never be "None" or "Low", or entirely an argument as to why
+    your upload is low risk.
+ 
+  * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
+    and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+  * Anything else you think is useful to include
+ 
+  * Make sure to explain any deviation from the norm, to save the SRU
+    reviewer from having to infer your reasoning, possibly incorrectly.
+    This should also help reduce review iterations, particularly when the
+    reason for the deviation is not obvious.
+ 
+  * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams
+    and the Technical Board and address these questions in advance
+

  After the upgrade from samba 2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu1.6 to 
2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu1.7
  the %U substitution in "config file" stopped working.
  
  Configuration (in /etc/samba/smb.conf):
  
    [global]
      security = user
      server role = standalone server
      config file = /etc/samba/users/%U.conf
  
  Example per-user config file:
  /etc/samba/users/user1.conf
  
    [global]
    [daten]
      path = /1data/daten
      read only = no
  
  Expected behavior:
  - On user login (e.g. smbclient //server/daten -U user1), Samba loads
    /etc/samba/users/user1.conf.
  - This worked fine with 0ubuntu1.6.
  - Also works fine again with Ubuntu 24.04 (Samba 4.19.5).
  
  Observed behavior with 0ubuntu1.7:
  - Samba does not load the per-user config file.
  - Log file shows: %U is empty, config file not loaded.
  - Even %m substitutions in log file (log.%m) are broken, resulting in 
"0.0.0.0".
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install Ubuntu 22.04 with samba 2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu1.7
  2. Use smb.conf as above.
  3. Create /etc/samba/users/user1.conf with a test share.
  4. Run: smbclient //server/daten -U user1
     → NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
     → No sign of /etc/samba/users/user1.conf being loaded in the logs.
  
  Regression:
  - Works in 2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu1.6
  - Broken in 2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu1.7 (Jammy)
  - Works again in 24.04 / Samba 4.19.5
  
  Impact:
  - Prevents per-user Samba configurations (config file = 
/etc/samba/users/%U.conf)
  - Breaks existing setups with multiple TB of user shares.
  
  Workaround:
  - Downgrade to 0ubuntu1.6 and hold package.
  - Or upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04.
  
  Please fix regression in Ubuntu 22.04 package.
