Description basilwt 2014-10-05 20:23:02 UTC
I have tried on two different systems and the results are the same. Basically I am running IPAv3 - on Centos6.5 - I think its version 3.0.0.37
I remove samba3 and install via yum, samba4 - which installs version 4.0.0rc4

I configure samba as a standalone setup with ipa as the backend - using ldapi (ipasam.so from my understanding) - but it happens even with ldap.so - 
from what I can work out is it has nothing to do with how I connect to the ldap server, as the problem only occurs depending on if I change a gid of a user in the IPA database. 
I create a user bob , which for example has a UID and GID of 85000045 , if I run pdbedit -L bob then the results are succesful, but if I change the GID of the user to anything other than what it was when I created the user - I get a bad talloc magic value error when I run pdbedit, then a panic, and smb restarts.

I tested various combinations, and it seems I can change both the UID and GID to anything, and as long as they are the same as each other, pdbedit -L returns a success. But as soon as I change either the GID or UID so they differ from each other, I get the bad talloc error.

I couldnt figure out how to get a core dump for pdbedit but I set the debug level and get this:

Comment 1 Volker Lendecke 2014-10-06 06:10:20 UTC
Please try a supported version of Samba, not a release candidate. The "rc4" denotes a pre-release version. Please re-open this bug if you can reproduce with 4.0.22 or 4.1.12.
Comment 2 basilwt 2014-10-06 06:31:29 UTC
Dear Volker

How do I go about using a non release candidate if 4.0.0rc4 is what gets 
installed via yum? I have tried updating via yum which returns no 
update, so I tried building from source - but I cant get it to install 
over 4.0.0rc4 - it keeps showing me 4.0.0rc4 when I type smbstatus - 
after running the ./configure, make and make install commands. It does 
seem to install without issue - but in /usr/local/samba I think - which 
doesnt seem to be where 4.0.0rc4.

I cant find any documentation on upgrading / replacing the current 
version I have in Centos6.5 to a more recent one?

Any help is greatly appreciated

You might want to upgrade to Centos 7. They have a more recent version packaged. If that is not possible, you might want to get a support contract with RedHat to get you a RHEL6.5 that might cause less trouble for you and then have RedHat provide you with more recent packages. Apart from that you might be able to get support from someone via https://www.samba.org/samba/support/.

Thanks

I am considering the upgrade to 7 - but probably only at the end of the 
year. In the mean time I found rpms for 4.0.6 which I tried, but I have 
to remove IPA-SERVER first, which I didnt want to do so I tried on a 
test system, and I can install samba4.0.6 after some fiddling - had to 
remove all samba4 .00 rc4 -67, which removed IPA-SERVER and its 
dependancies, and also IPA-TRUST-AD, but I cant install samba4-client 
-4.0.6 because it conflicts with tdb-tools. I found a newer tdbtools 
online, but it still conflicts - so I removed all of 4.0.6 and 
re-intalled the package version, then re-installed IPA to see if the 
system can recover - but IPA is totally broken it seems. So I cant risk 
this on my main systems. I am experimenting with how one recovers IPA - 
but thats irrelevant for this. I can build a new system - install samba 
4.0.6 ahead of time, then IPA - but can you possibly provide any advice 
on the tdb-tools issue with samba4-client 4.0.6 ? or can you provide any 
advice on the installation of 4.1 from source - as I followed the online 
documentation at the samba web site, but all it says is the typical 
configure, make, make install commands with reference to a source folder 
(but thats for samba3 it seems) - but it gives no clear help / instructions?

You suggest RHEL subscription? I dont understand, I thought all packages 
for CENTOS 6 and RHEL 6 are the same?

I went to

https://www.samba.org/samba/support

but I cant see a forum that I can follow or submit a post for help?

Kind Regards

Basil

As far as I know they are the same except for trademarks. If I am wrong, then you might contact the CentOS organization for paid support, sorry for my confusion.
