Comment 3 for bug 992820

Hi All,

I was able to have it work after a little bit of trial and error.
I couldn't understand, after looking at the scripts, why we get this "permission denied" message.
It turns out the permissions aren't set properly:
- chmod +x /usr/share/samba/setoption.pl

It will however still fail from there on if you type "apt-get install".
Instead edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and uncomment the lines under [netlogon].
Also add the following lines underneath the [netlogon} share declaration, in order to declare [sysvol]:
[sysvol]
        path = ${SYSVOLPATH}
        read only = no

I have to say I actually set ${SYSVOLPATH} to /home/samba/sysvol in order to avoid more complaints, not sure whether that's a good idea.
I only made a brief use of Samba to transfer a few files from Windows, come to think of it I should have used ftp :o)
The system seemed stable, though I can't say that I have extensively tested it.

Cheers,
Julien
