Bug 290289 – net-fs/samba-server-3.4.2: smbpasswd not built/installed

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Leeman Strout 2009-10-23 19:45:49 UTC]

Fresh install/build of the entire system and smbpasswd is nowhere to be found.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install gentoo
2. emerge samba-server (USE=cups doc fam swat -acl -ads -aio -avahi -caps -cluster -debug -examples -ldap -quota -samba4 -syslog -winbind -zeroconf)
3. try to find smbpasswd




Expected Results:  
smbpasswd should be built/installed.  I expect this to be the right package.  Perhaps I'm wrong, but there's no documentation for this rev that says otherwise.

smbpasswd is part of samba-client.

[Comment 2 Leeman Strout 2009-10-24 00:47:49 UTC]

smbpasswd should be part of the server build so that I can build a server without all the extra client stuff that's not necessary.

[Comment 3 Rafał Mużyło 2009-10-24 01:24:24 UTC]

<insert evil laugh here>
This upgrade to splits is really amusing.
Not that it was unnecessary - the idea is actually very
good (i.e. I don't really need more of samba than just the libs),
but the execution seems lacking.

smbpasswd is confusing because it's really two programs in one, one needing to be run on the server, the other not. Someone installing samba-client should equally be able to get smbpasswd without installing all the unnecessary server stuff.

[Comment 5 Víctor Ostorga (RETIRED) 2011-02-07 19:27:37 UTC]

samba-server was dropped a while ago and smbpasswd is installed always.
