Extracted the samba sources, and build manually using ---with-spinlocks instead of default locking mechanism. Works fine now, but haven't applied the patches and build with other parameters from default spec file. Will try that later. Is this a problem on a current system without a rebuild? RHL 7 has a 2.2 kernel, which differs a lot in e.g. locking... (not saying that's the problem, just pointing out that it's not intended for RHL 7 and bugs specific to this package on that platform aren't interesting... generic bugs are) Using the binary RPM doesn't work, causing the described locking problem. Tried to add --with-spinlocks configure parameter in de SPECS file, and rebuilded RPM, but it encounters the same locking problem, so for the moment we will stick to the simple source install. BTW, I'm not saying this is really a bug which belongs here, I just try to report the problem we had, and I guess it's your resposibility to put it in the exact context, or maybe mark it invalid. Regards. Think I'll do that for now... please reopen if it can be reproduced on a release with the included the samba. Official releases or beta releases. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: The last samba daemon from samba-2.2.4-4 (RawHide) fails to start on a RH70 system. The binaries are built using the source RPM using the --rebuild option. The log shows next message: [2002/06/13 19:51:13, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(492) tdb(unknown): tdb_open_ex: failed to get global lock on /etc/samba/secrets.tdb : Invalid argument [2002/06/13 19:51:13, 0] passdb/secrets.c:secrets_init(43) Failed to open /etc/samba/secrets.tdb Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build samba-2.2.4 binaries using rpm --rebuild on RH70 system (first need to install/build needed packages like pam, db4, ..) 2. Install samba, setup for using as NT workstation in a NT domain, controlled by a Microsoft primary domain controller. 3. Try to join the domain using "smbpasswd -j DOM -r pdc -U user". (or try to startup daemon ("smbd -D"). Actual Results: smbpasswd gives following error message: tdb(unknown): tdb_open_ex: failed to get global lock on /etc/samba/secrets.tdb: Invalid argument Failed to open /etc/samba/secrets.tdb Password: error storing domain secrets Unable to join domain BRC. Starting smbd fails with next message in the log: [2002/06/13 19:51:45, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(492) tdb(unknown): tdb_open_ex: failed to get global lock on /etc/samba/secrets.tdb : Invalid argument [2002/06/13 19:51:45, 0] passdb/secrets.c:secrets_init(43) Failed to open /etc/samba/secrets.tdb Expected Results: Succesful joining domain, or starting up the daemon. Or at least some dependancy checking and explanation which components need to be upgraded. Additional info: The initscripts are not updated, although the rpm requires that. I strongly believe that wouldn't help this problem. Current version of initscripts is 5.49-1 (default on RH70). The same, freshly built binary RPMS install and work fine on a RH73 system, where smbpasswd works, and daemon runs.
