[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#912717: samba: Samba should clean up sockets in /var/lib/samba/private/msg.sock/

[Daniel Reichelt]

Package: samba
Version: 2:4.5.12+dfsg-2+deb9u3
Severity: normal

Hi,

stopping/starting samba, it leaves a mess in /var/lib/samba/private/msg.sock/.
I can reproduce this on every machine I run samba on by simply doing:



# service samba stop ; rm -fv /var/lib/samba/private/msg.sock/* ; service samba start ; service samba stop ; ls -l /var/lib/samba/private/msg.sock
[ ok ] Stopping Samba AD DC daemon: samba.
[ ok ] Stopping SMB/CIFS daemon: smbd.
[ ok ] Stopping NetBIOS name server: nmbd.

Happy to provide more info when requested. Right now I just don't know what you need...


Thanks
