  ERROR: can't open /var/run/samba/samba.pid: Error was No such file or directory

if i do:
# mkdir -p /var/run/samba/
# touch /var/run/samba/samba.pid
# /etc/init.d/samba start

samba will start, but after next reboot this epic repeats :(
Comment 1 Claude 2012-11-02 09:10:10 UTC 
this is my fix for samba's runscript

+start_pre() {
+        # Create a directory if not exists
+        checkpath --directory /var/run/samba/
+}

start() {
        ebegin "Starting samba"
-start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/samba
+start-stop-daemon --start --make-pidfile --pidfile /var/run/samba/samba.pid --exec /usr/sbin/samba
        eend $?
}

Looks plausible to me.

Can the maintainer please check that into the tree?
