Package: samba Version: 2:3.6.19-1~bpo70+1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
After installing the backported version of Samba on a wheezy machine, 'service samba status' returned a failure without printing the status of either nmbd or smbd. Adding 'set -x' to the init script showed that the testparm command used to retrieve the value of 'disable netbios' returns exit code 1 on this system, which aborts processing the init script at that point due to 'set -e' being given at the top of the script. Changing the line to add "|| true" to the command fixes the issue. This makes the line read: NMBD_DISABLED=`testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios' 2>/dev/null || true` The fact that testparm complains about a slight mis-configuration should not impact 'service samba status' from operating correctly.
