Wanted to emerge net-fs/samba-3.0.33. A Pretend emerge showed it was going to install xinitd, which I really don't want. I had -swat, but it was being pulled in by ipv6 (which comes from my 2008.1 desktop profile). Seems a bit odd; if it will work without xinitd in ipv4, I can't help feeling it should work OK with ipv6 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.(using Porthole) emerge -p net-fs/samba -swat 2. 3. Actual Results: See xinit in the dependencies Expected Results: No xinitd Portage 2.2_rc23 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-vs2.2.0.7-gentoolargemem i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.22-vs2.2.0.7-gentoolargemem-i686-Genuine_Intel-R-_CPU_T1300_@_1.66GHz-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 17:15:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r7 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.4.6-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=prescott -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=prescott -pipe" DISTDIR="/var/tmp/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache collision-protect distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ " LANG="en_GB.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en_GB en_US en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/ibm-internal /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl acpi alsa berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo fam firefox fortran gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg kde laptop libnotify mad midi mikmod mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl pmu png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd tiff truetype unicode usb vorbis win32codecs x86 xml xorg xulrunner xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en_GB en_US en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Apparently IPv6 in samba is only supported through a xinetd wrapper - maybe that should be documented in metadata.xml?
(In reply to comment #1) > Apparently IPv6 in samba is only supported through a xinetd wrapper - maybe > that should be documented in metadata.xml? > In that case, I'm surprised inetd or xinitd isn't a prereq for IPv4 - the docs that say you need xinitd say the same problem (a daemon that doesn't listen - wtf?) occurs on IPv4, unless I'm misreading. Sorry, this is all a bit minor, really, it's just I don't like xinitd waiting to let the hackers in when I connect to the wrong network. :-)
I think this can be closed as invalid. And newer versions samba (at least >=3.4) don't use xinetd for IPv6.
