Dear Belle,

According to my understanding...

if this "ntp signd socket directory"
is not set in your smb.conf
it will have the default value from samba, according to their need...

testparm will be for normal standalone server/Member DC

samba-tools testparm are focus on AD-DC

So it is ok to have 2 different result as the need are different.

However, if you have the options there in smb.conf
then it is a Bugs.

Thank
