[Bug 1385868] Re: Samba logrotate script uses invalid argument to /etc/init.d/nmdb

[Robie Basak]

@elatllat

We'd love more community help! Please see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess for details on getting this
into the sponsorship queue. Keep in mind that submitted patches may not
necessarily be suitable - sometimes they aren't the correct fix, might
regress other users, or should be sent to Debian instead rather than
increase the maintenance burden in Ubuntu. But if it's appropriate, a
patch pilot processing the sponsorship queue will apply it.

Thanks again for volunteering!

Title:
  Samba logrotate script uses invalid argument to /etc/init.d/nmdb

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I received the following in an email from Anacron:

  /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
  Usage: /etc/init.d/nmbd {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status}
  error: error running non-shared postrotate script for /var/log/samba/log.nmbd of '/var/log/samba/log.nmbd '
  run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

  On further investigation I found that the problem lies in the
  /etc/logrotate.d/samba file:

  /var/log/samba/log.nmbd {
  	weekly
  	missingok
  	rotate 7
  	postrotate
  		service nmbd reload 2>/dev/null
  	endscript
  	compress
  	notifempty
  }

  where the postrotate script specifies a "reload", which the init
  script does not recognise.
