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

[Olly Betts]

Thanks for apply the patch.

Can I request this fix get backported to the precise package too?  If
there's anything I can do to help make that happen, let me know.

I've been running the final version of the patch in production on
precise since June 2012 (and earlier versions of the patch since at
least July 2011).  Samba upstream have applied the patch to the 3.6
branch, indicating they believe it's a change suitable for a stable
release series.

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

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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:

  https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8966

  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.

  I've attached a debdiff of the patched precise package I'm using.
