Package: samba
Version: 2:3.6.19-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/smbcontrol

Dear Maintainer,

smbcontrol man page lists switches -i and -s - neither affects invoked command

   * What led up to the situation? 
attempted to invoke smbcontrol interactively (smbcontrol -i)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
typed `smbcontrol -i` and later `sudo smbcontrol -i`

   * What was the outcome of this action?
smbcontrol command output help text

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
interactive shell for smbcontrol as specified in `man smbcontrol`
