Benoît, could you please answer to the following that comes from Samba's Bugzilla #6159 (https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6159), the upstream bug where I forwarded Debian bug #518113 which you reported.

Our address parser doesn't understand interface names in the scope... I could be wrong, but aren't link-local addresses really only supposed to be used for things like neighbor discovery? Some confirmation of the problem from the original reporter might be nice. An strace of the mount command that shows a link-local ip addr in the mount options, for instance... > If I pass options -o user=user,ip=servername,noperm the same error 22 is > risen. That's expected since you're passing something that isn't an IP address into the kernel as if it were. When "ip=" is explicitly specified then the mount helper doesn't bother with name resolution and passes it on directly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You reported the bug, or are watching the reporter. _______________________________________________ Pkg-samba-maint mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-samba-maint ** CRM114 Whitelisted by: lists.samba.org ** ----- End forwarded message ----- --
