Description Juergen Mell 2005-09-17 19:19:55 UTC

There is a symlink missing in directory /usr/share/samba/swat/help: The symlink
manpages should point to ../../../doc/packages/samba/htmldocs/manpages-3.
Without this symlink swat cannot display the online help when editing the smb.conf.

Comment 1 Lars Müller 2006-03-15 13:40:27 UTC

Fixed at least with the current packages (3.0.21c).  welcome.html points to manpages and not manpages-3.

~> rpm -qf /usr/share/samba/swat/help/manpages
samba-doc-3.0.21c-12
~> ls -l /usr/share/samba/swat/help/manpages
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 2006-03-14 11:38 /usr/share/samba/swat/help/manpages -> ../../../doc/packages/samba/htmldocs/manpages

Please reopen if this is still an issues with 10.1 beta 8.

Comment 2 Andreas Grupp 2006-04-21 06:19:46 UTC

For Version 10.0 this bug is still not fixed today. The above mentioned version is not available via YOU. The newest package there is 3.0.20 for the doc-package and 3.0.20b for samba itself.

Lars - can you take care of this one please - assigning to you.
Jeremy.

Comment 4 Miroslav Rovis 2008-07-24 19:50:01 UTC

--> rpm -q samba
samba-3.2.0-22.1
--> rpm -q samba-doc
samba-doc-3.2.0-31
That is: Suse 11.
Same thing.
Swat couldn't find the manpages to show for the same exact reasons above.
--> rpm -qf /usr/share/samba/swat/help/manpages
file /usr/share/samba/swat/help/manpages is not owned by any package
That's bacause I put that symlink.

Comment 5 Lars Müller 2010-01-25 12:48:23 UTC

lmuelle@giles:~> rpm -qf /usr/share/samba/swat/help/manpages
samba-doc-3.4.5-1.2.noarch

And the packages are available from the network:samba:STABLE repository.  See http://en.openSUSE.org/Samba#openSUSE_Build_Service

If I get it right this got fixed with bnc#426182 at 2008-09-18.

Please reopen if you still face this issue.
