invalid smb.conf file

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/832465 gave a descriptive error message so I assume this is a new bug. I did "complete removal" of everything related to samba and tried to install samba4 but hit several missing dependencies, so will try again in a few days

Can't install samba.

Set importance to high at request from irc user TheLordOfTime:

it prevents the application from running correctly, and because it has a severe impact on the program for a (currently small) number of people.

I tried the obvious workaround of chmod 755 /usr/share/samba/setoption.pl and then reattempting the installation and I get some more errors, so it looks like packaging for samba4 still needs quite a bit of work.

I think this bug might be a duplicate of: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba4/+bug/988509

This might be because of root password ,
I've set root password on my computer and I'm getting this ...

Hello,

Can somebody who has hit this bug attach their smb.conf ? Thanks !

Hi,
I have attached the file requested but have not removed root ownership.
Thank you very much for your time I am making this up by offering Linberry
my help in translating the menu interface as I lived in Spain for 20 years.
Proudly using Linux since 1999.

smb.conf file as requested.

Runs fine with smbd.
Samba4 has the error.

I hope this is of some use.
I changed the permissions to get it across a windows network.

Kindest regards, Michael.

Continue waiting for a stable samba4

This bug is fixed in quantal, which will be 12.10. It's not fixed in
12.04.1.

Cheers,

Jelmer

LTS has no fix? Shouldn't it be priority?

From the package description:

 These packages contain snapshot versions of Samba 4, the next-generation
 version of Samba. These should be considered _experimental_, and should
 not be used in production.

I'm hoping to upload a fix for the LTS, but I haven't gotten to that yet.

12.04 the new one
