Serious Winbind packaging bug in 2.2.7 binaries

[Matthew Mastracci]

I just spent a few hours diagnosing a problem with 2.2.7 on Redhat 7.3 that turned out to be (what I believe) is a packaging bug.

The symbolic link from libnss_winbind.so to libnss_winbind.so.2 is missing. This made nsswitch unable to enumerate windows users, and as such, disabled use of my samba server for everyone logging in. I should have picked up on this when getent passwd failed to show the domain users, but I ended up looking at everything else instead.

I think it is probably just a problem with the RPM script. Here is the RPM dumped output:

[root@og tmp]# rpm -q -p samba-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm --list -v | grep "libnss"
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16664 Nov 19 14:34 /lib/libnss_winbind.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 646659 Nov 19 14:34 /lib/libnss_wins.so
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14 Nov 19 14:34 /lib/libnss_wins.so.2 -> libnss_wins.so
