._samba_ rebased to version 4.12.3
The _samba_ packages have been upgraded to upstream version 4.12.3, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version:
* Built-in cryptography functions have been replaced with GnuTLS functions. This improves the server message block version 3 (SMB3) performance and copy speed significantly.
* The minimum runtime support is now Python 3.5.
* The `write cache size` parameter has been removed because the previous write cache concept could reduce the performance on memory-constrained systems.
* Support for authenticating connections using Kerberos tickets with DES encryption types has been removed.
* The `vfs_netatalk` virtual file system (VFS) module has been removed.
* The `ldap ssl ads` parameter is marked as deprecated and will be removed in a future Samba version. For information about how to alternatively encrypt LDAP traffic and further details, see the link:https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5325651[samba: removal of "ldap ssl ads" smb.conf option] solution.
* By default, Samba on RHEL 8.3 no longer supports the deprecated RC4 cipher suite. If you run Samba as a domain member in an AD that still requires RC4 for Kerberos authentication, use the `update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT:AD-SUPPORT` command to enable support for the RC4 encryption type.
Samba automatically updates its `tdb` database files when the `smbd`, `nmbd`, or `winbind` service starts. Back up the database files before starting Samba. Note that Red Hat does not support downgrading `tdb` database files.

Marc, this looks fine. However you can remove the ctdb_mutex_fcntl_helper part, as ctdb is not shipped with RHEL8 you need RHGS for ctdb. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory (samba bug fix and enhancement update), and where to find the updated files, follow the link below. If the solution does not work for you, open a new bug report. https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2020:4543 |
