Fix committed in
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~epoptes/epoptes/trunk/revision/340,
although it only affects new epoptes installations, or one can purge the
old version before installing the new one in order for dh_installinit to
update the rc.d symlinks.

Title:
  Epoptes does not use samba/winbind groups

Status in Epoptes:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Thanks for Epoptes !
  We are using Edubuntu 12.04 with the Epoptes installed by defualt. While there was no issue in using Epoptes as any user declared in the /etc/group file within the epoptes group, we have experienced issues in using alternative group and in particular groups obtained though a samba server. The following describe the context :

  The /etc/default/epoptes file has been modified to include the statement SOCKET_GROUP=net_remoteview
  The net_remoteview group does not exist on the local machine but is coming from a samba server on the newtork mounted as a PDC. The group can be seen by the getent groups command.

  A user which belongs to the group net_remoteview is looged on the
  Edubuntu station and launch epoptes either from the GUI or from a
  command line. epoptes does not launch and comes out with the following
  error : 'An error occured while connecting: 13: Permission non
  accordée.'

  In order to test if it was not only a samba issue, a local group
  called epoptes_test has been created and the /etc/default/epoptes file
  has been modified to include the statement SOCKET_GROUP=epoptes_test.
  After logging again a user belonging to that new group, launching
  epoptes leads to 'An error occured while connecting: 13: Permission
  non accordée.'

  We would be very grateful if you could help us to locate and solve the
  issue.

  Best regards,

  SmoothFroggy
