I'm having loads of trouble with the YaST Samba module. It seems that changes don't always get posted to smb.conf. A specific instance is that I tried to change security = user to security = share using "Expert Global Settings" in YaST. After finishing, I reopened YaST and found that security was still set to user. I exited YaST and made the change manually in /etc/samba/smb.conf and the security mode changed to share like it's supposed to. However, YaST still shows the security mode to be user. I also had problems with setting up my shares using YaST. I eventually just went directly to smb.conf and set everything up there. I guess I'm not really asking for technical help but, rather, where the heck do I report something like this? I don't seem to be able to find a YaST bugzilla (is there one?) and this doesn't really qualify as a SuSE support request. Any reasonable suggestions will be appreciated. -- Donald D.

A first step would be to tell us which versions of things you are using. Is this SLES? 9.3? What versions of yast2 and yast2-samba-server?

Oh, yeah. Sorry about that. I just completed a fresh install of SuSE Pro 9.3. I don't know the version of YaST but it's the one that comes with SuSE Pro 9.3. The Samba server is version 3.0.13-1.1. While I agree that I should have put this info in the original message, what difference does it make? I'm asking how to submit problems. -- Donald D.

Because it's a good idea to check first in places like this if it is a known problem, if others can see it. In this case it seems to be a valid bug, I can reproduce it on my system. So the place to report it would be http://bugzilla.novell.com

Thanks for the pointer and the explanation. -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules

I guess I need more help here. I went to the bugzilla but when I tried to enter the bug, I first have to select a product, none of which are remotely related to YaST. How do I get past that barrier? I fear that if I just select a random product, my bug will be ignored. -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules

The product would be "SUSE Linux 9.3" On the next screen, the "Found in version" is "Final" and "Component" is "YaST2"

That's not one of the choices. The choices are: Hula ifolder Denali Novell Linux Desktop 9 OpenOffice.org 1.1 OpenOffice.org 2.0 TaskJuggler However, I guessed 'Novell Linux Desktop 9' and that seems to be the one. One of the components is YaST2. Thanks for your help.
