Details

I have /var/run on a tmpfs, so the /var/run/samba directory installed by the package does not persist between reboots. This results in samba failing to start until that folder is manually created. The initscript should be adjusted to automatically create this dir if it is missing, just like the dbus and hal initscripts do.
This task depends upon

This is NOT fixed in 3.5.3-1. If I remove /var/run/samba and restart samba, the directory is not re-created and the daemon fails to start.
