Bug ID: 411433 Summary: Samba info is blank - relies on smbstatus which requires root permissions Product: kinfocenter Version: 5.14.5 Platform: Debian stable OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Samba Assignee: hubn...@gmail.com Reporter: daveh...@telus.net Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Kinfocenter Help says the Samba page front-ends smbstatus, but smbstatus only works as root (or equiv.). Also, the log file doesn't exist and the folder that has the correct log (/var/log/samba/) is not viewable by non-root user. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set up smb shares on the machine. Connect to them from Windows machines. 2. Open Kinfocenter, expand Network Information, click on Samba Status. 3. OBSERVED RESULT No info appears on Exports tab. (I'm not importing so haven't tested that tab). Log tab is blank and pointing to /var/log/samba.log. Log file should maybe be /var/log/samba/log.smb or some other file in that folder, although floder is locked to non-root. Statistics tab is blank. EXPECTED RESULT Exports, Log and Statistics listed.
