Bug#34408: samba: sambaconfig hoses inetd.conf if interrupted at first prompt (fwd)
Guys,
Is this request reasonable? Should a postinst script be made bullet
proof against a user hitting Control-C in the middle of its execution?
This will complicate the postinst script a lot.
Thanks,
peloy.-

Package: samba
Version: 1.9.18p10-7
If sambaconfig is run, but then interrupted at the first prompt, it
has already disabled netbios-* in /etc/inetd.conf and shutdown samba
in preparation for the next step. Unfortunately, this means that if
you ^C to interrupt the script, your inetd.conf is hosed. I think
sambaconfig should be a bit more robust, only committing changes to
inetd.conf *after* all dialog from the user has been accepted, and
possibly also disabling ^C when it does the actual modifications to
inetd.conf.
