Re: [Samba] Samba 4 Packages Available for Download
On 2013-05-23 at 23:12 +0200 Chris Fischer sent off: will it later be possible to use samba4 packages from the distribution when released, as distribution maintained packages mostly have less dependency problems or Sernet decides to stop providing binary packages. SerNet provides binary packages much longer than your distributor does. You can still get latest 3.6 samba packages for sles8 and rhel4 for example. Or is the internal structure a bit proprietary and the decision to use your packages not reversibel. the package structure is logical, if you thing there something can be improved, drop us a mail to sa...@sernet.de. It's also not true that installing the packages is not reversibel. You can always uninstall the packages again and install the distributor packages again in case that the package manager of your distribution can not handle package conflict resolution right. Again, if you have issues with that, feel free to contact us directly.

Re: [Samba] Samba 4 Packages Available for Download
There seems to be a problem with the sernet-samba-ad init script, at least on CentOS. Samba fails to start. The log file shows the following: [2013/05/15 20:48:37, 0] ../source4/smbd/server.c:369(binary_smbd_main) samba version 4.0.5-SerNet-RedHat-1.el6 started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2012 [2013/05/15 20:48:38, 0] ../source4/smbd/server.c:475(binary_smbd_main) samba: using 'standard' process model [2013/05/15 20:48:38, 0] ../file_server/file_server.c:47(file_server_smbd_done) file_server smbd daemon exited normally [2013/05/15 20:48:38, 0] ../source4/smbd/service_task.c:35(task_server_terminate) task_server_terminate: [smbd child process exited] [2013/05/15 20:48:38, 0] ../source4/smbd/server.c:210(samba_terminate) samba_terminate: smbd child process exited It looks like smbd starts and immediately exits. Under /var/run/samba, a process file samba.pid remains but not a smbd.pid file. Although samba is not running, the pidfile is left there. As a consequence, on further attempts to start samba using the script, it complains that a pidfile already exists. When samba is called by other means (/usr/sbin/samba or alternative init scripts) it starts and runs correctly. I am running 64bit CentOS 6.4.

It's not a trivial upgrade. I've been publishing SRPM components for building backports to RHEL 6, based on the Fedora release of Samba 4.0.5, at https://github.com/nkadel/samba-4.0.5-srpm/. The integration of full-blown domain controller features, for example, is a build-time option that is disabled by default for the Fedora and my SRPM, and there are significant incompatibilities between smb.conf configuration options between Samba 3.x and Samba 4.x. Simply upgrading in place is likely to create some real adventures in configuration integration. I'd recommend yanking a complete backup, especialliy of Samba 3.x configurations, and especially using testparm -v to collect the existing settings. Then do a clean re-installation and use testparm -v to review the configuration changes. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
