Public bug reported: When using dhclient to renew IP, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/samba is called. Unfortunatly, this script use an old method to reload smbd (/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d smbd reload). This call give some error messages.
papounet@amd8papou:~$ sudo dhclient Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service smbd reload Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd RTNETLINK answers: File exists papounet@amd8papou:~$ You can apply a little patch to avoid this in /debian/samba-common.dhcp 71c71 < [ -x /etc/init.d/smbd ] && /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d smbd reload --- > [ -x /etc/init.d/smbd ] && service smbd reload ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1097652 Title: dhclient cause error message when calling samba hook To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1097652/+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
