Potential shoot-your-self-in-the-foot with net conf setparm

[Richard Sharpe]

Hi folks,

I managed to hit this sequence with a 4.5.15 installation, and it does
not look like things have changed much in this area:

-----------------
$ net conf setparm global "kerberos method" secrets
$ net conf list
WARNING: Ignoring invalid value 'secrets' for parameter 'kerberos method'
Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it
$ man smb.conf
$ net conf setparm global "kerberos method" "secrets only"
WARNING: Ignoring invalid value 'secrets' for parameter 'kerberos method'
Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it
------------------

After that I was screwed, although maybe I could use tdbtool to fix the issue.

Has this been fixed in recent code or should I file a ticket?
