I've coded some scripts that extract some info from a smb.conf section.
In DC works:
root at vdcsv1:~# samba-tool -V
4.5.16-Debian
root at vdcsv1:~# samba-tool testparm --section sysvol
[sysvol]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol
read only = No
root at vdcsv1:~# samba-tool testparm --section-name=sysvol
[sysvol]
path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol
read only = No
in DM no:
root at vdmsv1:~# samba-tool -V
4.8.12-Debian
root at vdmsv1:~# samba-tool testparm --section users
ERROR(<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>): uncaught exception -
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py",
line 177, in _run
return self.run(*args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/testparm.py",
line 105, in run
lp[section_name].dump(verbose)
root at vdmsv1:~# samba-tool testparm --section-name=users
ERROR(<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>): uncaught exception -
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py",
line 177, in _run
return self.run(*args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samba/netcmd/testparm.py",
line 105, in run
lp[section_name].dump(verbose)
But note that:
root at vdmsv1:~# samba-tool testparm --section-name=users
--parameter-name=path
/home
works.
I've hit a bug?! Thanks.

Thanks. >No, the last time we discussed 'testparm' vs 'samba-tool testparm', we were discussing a DC ;-) 'samba-tool testparm' is what is used on a DC 'testparm' is what is used all other Samba servers. So your command on the Unix Domain member should be: testparm --section-name=users --parameter-name=path Complicated, isn't it ? ;-) Rowland

Thanks. > >G'Day Marco, Yes, looks like a bug. Please file a bug or even better submit a patch via a GitLab merge request if you can determine what the trouble is. It would be very helpful if you could work out what difference causes the trouble. The code in question doesn't really know or care about being a DC or domain member, so it will be something either a bit more subtle or a bit more silly, like the share name not existing case-wise. Particularly if you can work it out, posting both smb.conf files might help demonstrate if you don't mind.> No, the last time we discussed 'testparm' vs 'samba-tool testparm', > we > were discussing a DC ;-) > > 'samba-tool testparm' is what is used on a DC > > 'testparm' is what is used all other Samba servers. > > So your command on the Unix Domain member should be: > > testparm --section-name=users --parameter-name=path > > Complicated, isn't it ? ;-)G'Day Rowland, Regardless of the use case, both tools should parse the file quite successfully. The only exceptions I'm aware of are: - the 'registry' configuration, which is only known about by 'testparm'. - include statements that use % modifiers. Again, these only work in the file server and so are only known about by testparm. Otherwise, if there is a behaviour difference it is a bug that should be fixed. Thanks!
