Both packages that could satisfy virtual/fam, app-admin/gamin and app-admin/fam, are both unmaintained and should eventually be removed. Looking at samba's source, it appears that, similar to kde-frameworks/kcoreaddons and =dev-libs/glib-2* which already mask fam in linux, samba prefers inotify to fam. From https://github.com/samba-team/samba/blob/ab232ca77f8f08879d99f88cfcd554500717075e/source3/wscript#L143: > if host_os.rfind('sunos') == -1: > conf.CHECK_HEADERS('sys/inotify.h') > if conf.env.HAVE_SYS_INOTIFY_H: > conf.DEFINE('HAVE_INOTIFY', 1) When not on SunOS, if sys/inotify.h exists and defines HAVE_SYS_INOTIFY_H, the build defines HAVE_INOTIFY. From https://github.com/samba-team/samba/blob/c1e649fd473885c0cb779344fc7089a245c7b17d/source3/smbd/server.c#L343: > #ifdef HAVE_INOTIFY > if (lp_parm_bool(-1, "notify", "inotify", true)) { > sys_notify_watch = inotify_watch; > } > #endif > > #ifdef HAVE_FAM > if (lp_parm_bool(-1, "notify", "fam", > (sys_notify_watch == NULL))) { > sys_notify_watch = fam_watch; > } > #endif Assuming both HAVE_INOTIFY and HAVE_FAM are defined at compile-time, it will prefer inotify at runtime. There appears to be no reference to fam in the source4/ directory (i.e., samba4). Beyond those packages that already mask the fam USE flag in Linux, I don't see any desktop-oriented packages that would depend on virtual/fam, dev-libs/libgamin, app-admin/fam, app-admin/gam-server, or app-admin/gamin, I believe it shouldn't be default-enabled for desktop profiles. Reproducible: Always

I have only pushed the samba part of your commits as I do not want to mess with profile settings. Please try to get in touch with a Gentoo developer that has some experience with profiles for your other commit.
