[Samba] sysvolreset - open: error=40 (Too many levels of symbolic links)

Wed Mar 14 13:22:25 UTC 2018

Hai Elias, 

Ok, If you on my apt, why are you not on 4.7.6 now ;-) 

And I would expect to see : 
lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch)
Release:        9.4
Codename:       stretch

So first, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -dy && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y 
People might as why like that. 
1) update
2) download all upgraded files, ( even the one that might need extra packages ) 
3) upgrade as normal.
4) check of the "extra" packages. 

Besides that, now since i normaly dont run samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset.. 
But ! 
For you i did it... I did run : samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset 
After more then a year..  On my production server. Oehh..  
Resulted in : 0 errors.  :-) 

And then i did the following. 
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thctlo/samba4/master/samba-check-set-sysvol.sh
bash samba-check-set-sysvol.sh 
The output, review it. 

If its ok, set the parameter : APPLY_CHANGES_DIRECT="no" to yes. 
Run it again. 

Done, sysvol works fine. :-) 

You try it, im building packages so i have some "list" time ..  

Greetz, 

Louis
