[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#429767: samba: A Samba share named "share" is quietly invalid.

[Jesse Molina]

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.25a-2
Severity: important


If a share is named share, as given in the example below, it doesn't work!  Debugging isn't helpful and testparm says it's valid.

Simply renaming the share to anything else, such as myshare, ashare, or arrrrrrggggggg-whered-my-share-go, are valid.



[share]
        comment = Common File Share
        path = /var/local/smb/share
