Title:
  winbindd_privileged permission issue

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: winbind

  I configured squid to use ntlm_auth to authenticate users against a
  Windows domain. To do this, the group ownership for directory
  /var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged needs to be changed from "root" to
  "proxy". No problem there, but of course 6.06 uses the varrun
  temporary filesystem to mount /var/run, so upon reboot the changes to
  the group ownership are lost.

  I'm using this workaroud

  cat /etc/init.d/winbind.sh

  #!/bin/sh
  #set -x
  WINBINDD_PRIVILEGED=/var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged

  chmodgrp() {
      chgrp proxy $WINBINDD_PRIVILEGED || return 1
  }

  case "$1" in
      start)
          chmodgrp
          ;;
      restart|reload|force-reload)
          echo "Error: argument '$1' not supported" >&2
          exit 3
          ;;
      stop)
          ;;
      *)
          echo "Usage: $0 start|stop" >&2
          exit 3
          ;;
  esac
  #EOF

  
  update-rc.d  winbind.sh start 21 2 3 4 5 .

  can ubuntu team fix this issue?

  thanks
  Nicola
