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

[Olly Betts]

Thanks Dave.

I've tested the 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.4 package from proposed against a
2008r2 server using the test in the bug description and it works.

Title:
  Fix net rpc share allowedusers to work with 2008r2

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “samba” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

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.

  [Regression Potential]

  This has been running 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:
