[Bug 1061244] Re: Fix net rpc share allowedusers to work with 2008r2

[Paul Wise (Debian)]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
  The RAP NetShareEnum command was removed in Windows 2008r2, so "net rpc
  share allowedusers" no longer works.
  
- Upstream has accepted and applied a patch to use the equivalent RPC call
- instead:
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ Install a Windows 2008r2 or later server and setup a domain and export
+ some shares. Install Ubuntu precise on a machine on the same network and
+ join it to the domain. Then run this command on a machine running Ubuntu
+ precise:
+ 
+ $ net usersidlist | net rpc share allowedusers -U Administrator -S
+ <ipaddr>
+ 
+ Where <ipaddr> is the IP address of the Windows 2008r2 server.
+ 
+ Without the patch, this gives:
+ 
+ Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED
+ 
+ With the patch it shows the shares and which users can view them.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ This has been running this in production with various versions of samba
+ since at least July 2011 and it seems to work well with both 2008r2 and
+ older versions of Windows.
+ 
+ Samba upstream have applied the patch to the 3.6 branch, indicating they
+ believe it's a change suitable for a stable release series:

- I've been running this in production with various versions of samba
- since at least July 2011, and it seems to work well with both 2008r2 and
- older versions of Windows.  It would be good if other users could
- benefit from the fix.
+ [Other Info]
  
- I've attached a debdiff of the patched precise package I'm using.
+ None.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The RAP NetShareEnum command was removed in Windows 2008r2, so "net
  rpc share allowedusers" no longer works.

  [Test Case]

  Install a Windows 2008r2 or later server and setup a domain and export
  some shares. Install Ubuntu precise on a machine on the same network
  and join it to the domain. Then run this command on a machine running
  Ubuntu precise:

  $ net usersidlist | net rpc share allowedusers -U Administrator -S
  <ipaddr>

  Where <ipaddr> is the IP address of the Windows 2008r2 server.

  Without the patch, this gives:

  Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED

  With the patch it shows the shares and which users can view them.
