Bug#400617: samba: FAM support doesn't seem to work with g..

Package: samba
Version: 3.0.23d-1
Severity: grave


Hi,

I just upgrade samba and started to get massive timeout issues trying to
access my shares.
Troubleshooting showed error messages in /var/log/samba/log.HOSTNAME
coming up in 2s intervals:

[...]
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/fam-root-
[2006/11/27 17:15:43, 0] smbd/notify_fam.c:fam_check_reconnect(136)
failed to connect to FAM service
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/fam-root-
[2006/11/27 17:15:45, 0] smbd/notify_fam.c:fam_check_reconnect(136)
failed to connect to FAM service
[...]

Adding "fam change notify = yes" to the global section of smb.conf
solved the issue. As I don't have FAM but GAMIN (as required by KDE)
installed, I suspect here some kind of incompatibility, which shouldn't
make it to etch (hence the severity).

My suggestion would be to have FAM notification off by default, and
solve the underlying issue after etch release, should time be short.

Thanks, Eric
