Public bug reported:


The following bug, that was fixed sometime back, is back on the burner...

Samba user home path not accessible if directory added after %U - canonicalize_connect_path failed 
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/2003867

Basically after applying Samba update(s), users can not access home
directories if the path is not in the "default" location. Because we use
something like /home/<username>/FILES/ instead of /home/<username>/, the
user home drive become inaccessible

As I don't seems to be able to re-open that previous bug report and it
shows fixed anyway, I created this new bug report but the regression is
related as it is the same behaviour back again.

>From our point of view the old package versions is 4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.5 was working fine
    https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.5

...but the new version is 4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.6 is failing
    https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.6

As temporary fix for now, we may be rolling back to previous version,
but we cannot do it via 'aptitude' because some of the dependencies are
no longer available. This also may require to stop automatic updates for
a short while which is not great from a security point of view.

At the meantime, we would appreciate some help like previously to have
it fixed upstream and possibly to prevent it to happen again in the
future in the measure of possible.

Thank you in advance.
