[BLUG] Samba Fun!

[Simon Ruiz]

Interesting.
 
I tried both ways (sudo install and sudo mkdir), and the testparm check seems immediately satisfied.
 
So I reboot the computer, and the directory disappears!
 
Hmmmm...

Simon:

I thought I'd check the /var/run/samba thing. I'm using Edgy Eft on my
machine, but I upgraded from Dapper Drake.

Run:
sudo install -d --group=root --mode=0755 --owner=root /var/run/samba

This will create the /var/run/samba directory as I have it on my
machine. (For most people this will result in the same permissions as a
simple "sudo mkdir /var/run/samba" however for others their default
umask will be different.)

It looks like that was the only thing you were missing, so I hope this
helps.

Cheers,
