Going from Samba 3.0.7 to 3.0.10, the default location for smbpasswd was changed, Any user without smbpasswd defined in smb.conf will upgrade to a samba install unable to authenticate users due to the change and failure. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u samba 2. etc-update, shows no config files needing manual attention in samba 3. restart samba, authentication fails Actual Results: Looking back over the saved terminal session, I found the problem. * 2004-11: new ebuild flags: * quotas: now disabled by default * winbind: now disabled by default * libclamav: (oav) don't use clamav daemon, just load libraries when needed * /etc/samba/private moved to /var/lib/samba/private * Copying /etc/samba/private/* to /var/lib/samba/private/ cp: `/var/tmp/portage/samba-3.0.10/image//var/lib/samba/private/': specified destination directory does not exist Try `cp --help' for more information. >>> Unpacking source... Expected Results: the cp process above should have completed with no error, or the ebuild should have aborted when it noticed the copy failed.
