No, it does not work fine, as the samba rcNG script is triggering a flaw
in the rcNG system.
The function "checkyesno" cannot handle undefined variables and will
thus print an error. This will happen ON EVERY machine that samba3 is
installed, but there is no samba_enable="YES/NO" line in rc.conf.
The quick fix is to alter the samba script to set a default value (to
NO), just like almost every other port does, eg., run
$ egrep '_enable:?-"?NO' /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*
010.pgsql.sh:postgresql_enable=${postgresql_enable:-"NO"}
privoxy:privoxy_enable=${privoxy_enable-"NO"}
snmpd:snmpd_enable=${snmpd_enable-"NO"}
symon:symon_enable=${symon_enable:-"NO"}
I'll CC the maintainer ...
