[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#1073969: samba: Referenced but unset environment variable evaluates to an empty string

[Timo van Roermund]

Package: samba
Version: 2:4.20.2+dfsg-2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The smbd and nmbd services throw the following warnings when they get started:

(smbd)[75315]: smbd.service: Referenced but unset environment variable evaluates to an empty string: SMBDOPTIONS
(nmbd)[75101]: nmbd.service: Referenced but unset environment variable evaluates to an empty string: NMBDOPTIONS

This seems to be a known issue; see:

https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2023-December/138624.html

Would it be possible to silence these warnings using the solution mentioned in the link above?

Best regards,

Timo
