Public bug reported:
Using Ubuntu Edgy on three different hardware configurations that I
have access to here (Dell Optiplex 170L, 210L desktops & Dell Inspiron
1300 laptops), the configuration file doesn't seem to be affecting
Samba's behavior.
A couple of examples: name resolution is not checking with the WINS
server, as directed to in smb.conf; also, when connecting a Windows
share the "domain" field comes up filled in as "WORKGROUP" as opposed to
"MCCSC" as directed by smb.conf
All of this works fine on our older installations (Ubuntu Breezy)
To my uneducated eye, Samba seems to be ignoring the configuration file.
An online tutorial for troubleshooting Samba directed me to the
"testparm" command, which brings up a few errors I can't seem to
decipher even with the help of Google.
This is the output I get on all three hardware configurations (I've even
tried on a fresh installation of Edgy, to rule out any stupid mistakes I
may have made):
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[print$]"
Loaded services file OK.
ERROR: lock directory /var/run/samba does not exist
ERROR: pid directory /var/run/samba does not exist
WARNING: passdb expand explicit = yes is deprecated
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

For reference, this is the output on the Ubuntu Breezy stations that behave as
expected:
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[print$]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions
(the section [homes] is commented out in Edgy)
Help!
