Package: samba Version: 2:3.3.4-1 Severity: normal
Hello, The fix for bug #496073 introduced the following two patches into the codebase: http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/patches/security/samba-3.2.2-CVE-2008-3789-1.patch http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/patches/security/samba-3.2.2-CVE-2008-3789-2.patch This prevents me from running connection reports as a non-user using the smbstatus utility, as there are insufficient permissions to open /var/run/samba/messages.tdb. This is furthermore compounded by the problem of /var/run being cleaned up on every reboot, so I any chmod 660/chgrp <authorised users> settings are lost. Currently the only way forward is for me to set SUID on smbstatus, and by all standards this is a bad idea. Is there any better workaround for this? Ideally I'd like to have perms 660 on newly created files, and have samba respect the SGID setting of /var/run/samba Thank you -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
