Comment 5 for bug 1719889

> the problem does not exist on 18.04.

OK, so I'll mark this bug as Triaged as I think it's clear what behaviour needs to change. I'm setting this as Importance: Low though, since I think this affects only unusual end-user configurations of Ubuntu. I don't expect the Ubuntu server team to work on this any time soon, but if you can provide a patch and help drive the QA required to get a fix into 16.04, we'd be happy to take it.

In Ubuntu we can cherry-pick an upstream fix (or come up with our own fix) and apply it to 16.04. How practical this is depends on the exact fix.

If this bug previously existed upstream and has since been fixed in a newer upstream release, it would be helpful to find the upstream bug reference (if it exists) and the upstream VCS commit(s) that fix the problem.

If you can volunteer your help, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure for details. The first step though is to figure out a patch that works for the samba package in Ubuntu 16.04, which can be done independent of Ubuntu processes.
