Description lejeczek 2016-09-14 12:43:31 UTC 
Description of problem:

use these:

  ;root directory = /var/lib/samba-second
  ;lock directory = /var/lib/samba-second
  ;state directory = /var/lib/samba-second
  ;cache directory = /var/lib/samba-second
  ;private dir = /var/lib/samba-second/private
  ;ntp signd socket directory = /var/lib/samba-second/ntp_signd
  ;winbindd socket directory = /run/samba/winbindd-second
  ;winbindd privileged socket directory = /var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged-second
  pid directory = /run/second

and:

  passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://rider.ccnr.biotechnology:1389/"

and you will get:

  Failed to issue the StartTLS instruction: Can't contact LDAP server

(and smbclient and other will fail)

because:

  Unable to create directory /var/lib/samba-second for file dbwrap_watchers.tdb. Error was No such file or directory

Seems like using above directives renders Samba running but crippled.
I also had setenforce=0 and even touched dbwrap_watchers.tdb.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

samba-4.2.10-7.el7_2.x86_64

It looks like '/var/lib/samba-second' doesn't exist. Samba is not responsible to create this directory.

However you should provide more detailed information:

Comment 3 Andreas Schneider 2017-01-16 14:33:37 UTC 
Closing as there are no log files to investigate further.
