Hi folks,
I just had to debug someone trying to use qemu with the SMB host/guest
folder sharing. This needs a smbd from net/samba4 to talk the protocol.
Samba installs libraries into lib/samba/private/. The only private
thing about these seems to be that other programs should not rely on
them. But any user wanting to start any tool from the Samba suite (e.g.
smbclient) needs access to them.
Why, then, do we have this in net/samba4/Makefile?
Makefile:OWN_DIRS_PERMS= ${SMB_PRIVATE} ${REAL_ROOT_USER} ${REAL_ROOT_GROUP} 0700
It totally kills any non-root usage of Samba tools.
Any reason this should not be fixed?
Alrighty then,
Thomas
