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

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thanks, indeed that's an issue introduced when switching away from
upstart, I've changed the package back to use the Debian version of the
script, which works, and forwarded them your suggested change on
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804705

** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #804705
   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804705

** Description changed:

+ * Impact
+ the logrotate script uses an invalid reload syntax
+ 
+ * Test case
+ install samba, rotate the log, look at errors emails
+ 
+ * Impact
+ the command used now is the debian one, it should work, still check it reloads the service as it should
+ 
+ 
+ --------------------
+ 
  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
+  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.
