[Bug 1385868] Re: Samba logrotate script uses invalid argument to /etc/init.d/nmdb

[Brian Murray]

Hello Josh, or anyone else affected,

Accepted samba into wily-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/2:4.1.17+dfsg-
4ubuntu3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  Samba logrotate script uses invalid argument to /etc/init.d/nmdb

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in samba source package in Wily:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact
  the logrotate script uses an invalid reload syntax

  * Test case
  install samba, rotate the log, look at errors emails

  * Impact
  the command used now is the debian one, it should work, still check it reloads the service as it should

  
  --------------------

  I received the following in an email from Anacron:

  /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
  Usage: /etc/init.d/nmbd {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status}
  error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/samba/log.nmbd of '/var/log/samba/log.nmbd '
  run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

  On further investigation I found that the problem lies in the
  /etc/logrotate.d/samba file:

  /var/log/samba/log.nmbd {
   weekly
   missingok
   rotate 7
   postrotate
    service nmbd reload 2>/dev/null
   endscript
   compress
   notifempty
  }

  where the postrotate script specifies a "reload", which the init
  script does not recognise.
