[Pkg-samba-maint] Samba start stop script does not check for configuration file

[Jacob.Van.Der.Meulen at esa.int]

Dear Sir, Mrs,

Is it possible to add to the samba start stop script a check for the
existence of the samba configuration file like you do for checking the
existence of the daemons?

Suggestion for /etc/init.d/samba:

Change:

   test -x /usr/sbin/nmbd -a -x /usr/sbin/smbd || exit 0

by

   test -x /usr/sbin/nmbd -a -x /usr/sbin/smbd -a -r /etc/samba/smb.conf ||
   exit 0

On my high available cluster (fail-over) I want to have samba running on the
active node only. So my /etc/samba is a link to a shared location which is
only accessible from the active node. With the proposed check the Samba
start-up trial on the not active node will not generate a failure.

Regards,

Jacob van der Meulen
