[Bug 1097652] [NEW] dhclient cause error message when calling samba hook

[Alain SAURAT]

Public bug reported:

When using dhclient to renew IP, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/samba is called.
Unfortunatly, this script use an old method to reload smbd (/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d smbd reload).
This call give some error messages.

papounet at amd8papou:~$ sudo dhclient
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service smbd reload

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
papounet at amd8papou:~$ 

You can apply a little patch to avoid this in /debian/samba-common.dhcp
