Is there a package available that I can use to install the net command from? net (indeed /usr/bin/net.samba3, /usr/bin/net being provided through Debian alternatives system) is included in Debian's samba-common-bin package. This package is recommended by samba-common, so a standard Debian install with the "samba" binary package should have it. If you don't have it installed, this is probably because the "install Recommends" option of apt ('APT::Install-Recommends "false";' in /etc/apt/apt.conf) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Since I don't use the net command often, I just run net.samba3. I'm sure you could do an `update-alternatives --config net` as root and choose to use net.samba3 to restore the use of just 'net'.

The command that's run in samba-common-bin's postinst script is: update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/net net /usr/bin/net.samba3 10 \ --slave /usr/share/man/man8/net.8.gz net.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/net.samba3.8.gz It's surprising to hear that the "net" alternative wasn't properly registered after installing samba-common-bin. More details about this would be in any case appreciated. And a reproducible test case is certainly worth a bug report in Debian against samba-common-bin. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

I did have a lenny box with 3.4.8 from backports that had the problem a couple of days ago, but I did two today without any problems. I just chalked it up as a fluke and used the full command and went on with my life. The server does not have any net entries in /etc/alternatives. Is there a log I can look at and see what may have failed? If there is, I can submit a bug, but I can't reproduce it on demand.

If they don't fail, actions made in postinst scripts are not logged. If they fail, the "apt-get install" or "aptitude install" command is expected to fail... You mention a machine that has 3.4.8 backproted package and no alternative. Can you try to manually run the command I mentioned in my previous post (as root, of course)? Can you also run "dpkg -L samba-common-bin" on that machine? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba |
