By the way if you have any support licenses with RedHat create a matching case with them too. The developers give higher priority to cases created by paid customers.

For the short term I downgraded to an older version of samba4 (to get my system running again). (And yes, there is an entry in bugzilla for "my" problem. And a link to an upstream patch ....) In the medium term I'm looking for an other distribution: It doesn't make sense to have about 10 years of support (in theory), but updates just every half year. Then I prefer a system -- where I have to do upgrades to the next major versions more frequently, -- because of merely about 3 years of update support, ++ but with a more current update policy ++ and an overall more recent software.
