I applied the upstream patch and looks like it solves the problem. Here is a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ahasenack/+archive/ubuntu/samba- include-1583324/+packages

Monday I'll refine this testing a bit, but it looks good so far. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1583324 Title: Samba won't start when an include statement in smb.conf has a variable substitution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1583324/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
