Not working on Ubuntu Precise

[d-ph]

Hey Matthias,

in short: Ubuntu (tested in Precise) uses smbd as the Samba service name. In manifests/params.pp it is set as: samba resulting in puppet not being able to restart the service (unknown service error). I've edited:

case $osfamily {
    'RedHat': { $service = [ 'smb', 'nmb' ] }
    'Debian': { $service = [ 'samba' ] }
     default: { $service = [ 'samba' ] }
  }

to:

case $osfamily {
    'RedHat': { $service = [ 'smb', 'nmb' ] }
    'Debian': { $service = [ 'smbd' ] }
     default: { $service = [ 'smbd' ] }
  }

and it worked. Note that I was too lazy to check, whether I should change only the 'Debian' or both 'Debian' and default - I just changed both. Note that on Debian the service is named: samba, so it looks like there should be another key ubuntu specifically for this issue.

Cheers,
d-ph

Hmm, I'm guessing you wanted to report this against puppet-samba, right? Do let me know if I have a wrong link somewhere that led you here.

The solution should be to switch to $::operatingsystem in the case statement or (to not have to list all members of the RedHat family) to just add another case inside of the Debian section.

This should be fixed in git and in the 0.1.2 release on the forge.

You're right, I wanted to make an issue report to the puppet-samba module. I just had a lot of browser bookmarks opened and it ended in a wrong place.

0.1.2. works for me now. Thanks
