That's very interesting.

In any case, Gerald Carter goes on to reply on the page you reference:

"Hmmmm...that should work.  It certainly wasn't an
intentional change.  This patch should correct it."

Ugh. I'm testing this right now, and I'm finding all kinds of other
problems related to paths. It appears that smbldap-tools have been
moved AGAIN(!!!!!?!?!?!) under /usr/sbin/, which is where they
should've been in the first place.

This means that if you run the installer with one version of smbldap
tools, it will put a bunch of paths in your smb.conf. Then you run
'yum upgrade' and the executables all move, and you have to go around
fixing things.

I repeat: Ugh.

From day one when I added Ubuntu support, I have never had a single
issue, and I've never had to change a single thing since Hoary.

Supporting FC has presented me with several issues just like this.
(Granted, the samba bug would/will hit on Ubuntu as well, unless the
delayed pace of package updates there works this time and the bug is
fixed before Ubuntu gets the upgraded samba.)

I'm not sure how soon I'll get to these fc5 problems. I'm out of town
all next week and I won't have access to my test system(s). But I'll
do what I can when I can. In the meantime, I've uploaded 3.0-gamma
which does *not* include the silly quotes in smb.conf.
