Ok. I think we need to undo this /var/lib/samba/private nonsense. It is a pointless and imperfect migration (as shown by this bug report), and the only rationale upstream ever gave for keeping these files in a separate "private" directory is some stupid and ancient target OS that couldn't properly set per-file permissions. Debian users have been using /var/lib/samba exclusively for the better part of a decade; migrating to this private/ directory adds no value for our users. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
