[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#831770: smbclient: Problem still occurs

[Harald]

Package: smbclient
Version: 2:4.11.1+dfsg-3
Followup-For: Bug #831770

Dear Maintainer,

good afternoon!

I still run into this problem, even though I can use smbclient to access my shares. /run/samba is not existing. See here for an example session:

jupp:|home/harald > smbclient -U guest //pi/public
directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /run/samba: Permission denied
Unable to initialize messaging context
directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /run/samba: Permission denied
directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /run/samba: Permission denied
directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /run/samba: Permission denied
Enter WORKGROUP\guest's password: 
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
smb: \> quit

/run/samba is not existing.

In case I create it manually and give it sufficient permissions, the following files are created after a session:

jupp:|home/harald > smbclient -U guest //pi/public
Unable to initialize messaging context
Enter WORKGROUP\guest's password: 
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
smb: \> quit
jupp:|home/harald > ls -l /run/samba/
total 452

drwxr-xr-x 2 harald harald     40 Nov 24 18:19 msg.lock

Up to now I don't experience severe drawbacks from that being a single user.
