Hi, I was hoping I could modify a locally mounted registry hive using regpatch and a .reg file but the -F argument seems to have no function.
(Strace shows it ignores it and just operates on /var/lib/samba/private/hklm.ldb) Below is output with debug on. rfm6@ubuntuSSDx64:cp /mnt/xp/WINDOWS/system32/config/software /tmp/software rfm6@ubuntuSSDx64:/tmp/config$ sudo regpatch -d=10 -F software RunOnceSoftware.reg lpcfg_load: refreshing parameters from /etc/samba/smb.conf params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file

also seems to ignore any .reg files passed to it. conversely regtree and regshell both seem to work fine operating on a local hive though. (actually regtree borks reading the software hive but is ok on others) The man pages elude to it being able to do this so is it me being thick or is it not meant to work? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/en/man1/regpatch.1.html I am using 4.0.0~alpha15~git20110124.dfsg1-2ubuntu1 Regards Rich -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
