2014Q4 samba4 problems

[RSully]

I spun up a base-64-lts zone (c02a2044-c1bd-11e4-bd8c-dfc1db8b0182) on the current build of SmartOS and ran the following:

pkgin -y update
pkgin -y upgrade
pkgin -y install samba4

Based on the message I saw at the end of installation I figured any setup would be as easy as modifying /opt/local/etc/samba/smb.conf and running svcadm enable -r svc:/pkgsrc/samba4:default. A couple problems I've ran into:

• It looks like the command is actually svcadm enable -r svc:/pkgsrc/samba4:smbd.
• It looks like it is looking for the config file at /opt/local/etc/smb.conf instead.
• Out of the box logging gives me errors such as "Unable to open new log file '/usr/local/samba/var/log.$client: No such file or directory".

Let me know if there is any more info I can provide or if there is a newer image or version I should be using.

I see why the first two happen: the samba4 pkg from wip uses the files from samba:

FILESDIR=       ${PKGDIR}/../../net/samba/files

So it picks up the samba 3 SMF manifest.

For issues 1 it is then missing SMF_INSTANCES= smbd nmbd in its makefile (if samba 4 also has these services, i've not checked). But issue 2 sounds like it deserves its own manifest anyway.

I can confirm the issue with samba4. The manifest is wrong or maybe the package isn't build correctly to detect the config file in /opt/local/samba/ (smb.conf). A simple workaround would be to modify the manifest to and specify the config file directly.

I am also seeing "Unable to open printcap file /etc/printcap for read!". In my [global] (I have load printers = no, if that has any relation).

(For the moment I simply symlink'd the conf file as a workaround to get samba4 to enable)
