[Bug 514765] [NEW] Shared folder creation fails due to incorrect testparm path

[Alan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

Hi,

Creation of a shared folder in Ubuntu 9.10 / Karmic fails with the
errors "Failed to execute child process "testparm"" and "Failed to
execute child process "net"". The setup program seems to be looking for:

    /usr/bin/testparm

And

    /usr/bin/net

The paths in Karmic for these tools are infact:

    /usr/bin/testparm.samba3

And

    /usr/bin/net.samba3

A workaround is to symlink them to /usr/bin/net and /usr/bin/testparm.
Creation of shared folders works without error when symlinks are in
place.

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/net.samba3 /usr/bin/net
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/testparm.samba3 /usr/bin/testparm

/mrintegrity
