Continue running under SSH?

This session appears to be running under ssh. It is not recommended
to perform a upgrade over ssh currently because in case of failure it
is harder to recover.

If you continue, an additional ssh daemon will be started at port
'1022'.
Do you want to continue?

Continue [yN] y

Starting additional sshd 

To make recovery in case of failure easier, an additional sshd will 
be started on port '1022'. If anything goes wrong with the running 
ssh you can still connect to the additional one. 
If you run a firewall, you may need to temporarily open this port. As 
this is potentially dangerous it's not done automatically. You can 
open the port with e.g.: 
'iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 1022 -j ACCEPT' 

To continue please press [ENTER]

root@weasel:~# dpkg-reconfigure samba-common
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: samba-common is broken or not fully installed

Had to do a "apt-get purge samba-common" in order to move ahead.

brought my puppet recipes up to date with changes from upgrade

Now that I can do a "puppet agent -t --noop" and no changes show.

Next step is to get samba working again.

enable samba

root@weasel:/etc# apt-get install samba
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  samba-common samba-common-bin tdb-tools
Suggested packages:
  bind9 bind9utils ldb-tools smbldap-tools winbind heimdal-clients
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  samba samba-common samba-common-bin tdb-tools
0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
...

root@weasel:/etc# service samba status
 * nmbd is running
 * smbd is running

That was easy.

Now reconcile the working samba with my puppet module. Just two files under puppet control:

• smb.conf
• smbpasswd

And puppet has nothing to say about smbpasswd, so just one file to fiddle with.

Folded in the worthy changes. Kept the necessary customizations.

Now samba is back:

root@hexli:~# smbclient -L weasel

Huh? How can weasel be the master of "workgroup"? Whatever. I'm calling this closed.
