Public bug reported:
The following bug, that was fixed sometime back, is back on the burner... Samba user home path not accessible if directory added after %U - canonicalize_connect_path failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/2003867 Basically after applying Samba update(s), users can not access home directories if the path is not in the "default" location. Because we use something like /home/<username>/FILES/ instead of /home/<username>/, the user home drive become inaccessible As I don't seems to be able to re-open that previous bug report and it shows fixed anyway, I created this new bug report but the regression is related as it is the same behaviour back again. >From our point of view the old package versions is >4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.5 was working fine https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.5 ...but the new version is 4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.6 is failing https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.6 As temporary fix for now, we may be rolling back to previous version, but we cannot do it via 'aptitude' because some of the dependencies are no longer available. This also may require to stop automatic updates for a short while which is not great from a security point of view. At the meantime, we would appreciate some help like previously to have it fixed upstream and possibly to prevent it to happen again in the future in the measure of possible.
