Recent samba35 change makes winbindd mandatory?

Terry_Kennedy · Apr 11, 2012

I've been using the net/samba35 port for some time. I have not been using winbindd, as the line

Code:

samba_enable="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf only started smbd and nmbd and I have no need for winbindd in my environment.

It looks like revision 1.2 of /usr/ports/net/samba35/files/samba.in (which didn't bump PORTVERSION, so went un-noticed until now) breaks this configuration. Attempting to restart samba35 produces:

Code:

(0:34) host:/tmp# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba restart
Cannot 'restart' samba. Set winbindd_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onerestart' instead of 'restart'.

I tried changing

Code:

samba_enable="YES"

to

Code:

nmbd_enable="YES"
smbd_enable="YES"

which did not help. Nor did adding

Code:

winbindd_enable="NO"

Is this intentional?

Nope, it wasn't. I've been in communication with dougb@, who committed fixes for this to net/samba34, net/samba35, and net/samba36 a little less than 2 hours ago. The change also bumps PORTREVISION, so your samba port will be rebuilt / reinstalled the next time you do a [cmd=""]portupgrade[/cmd].

Thanks to dougb@ for his quick response and correction of the issue!
