RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Toni Spets 2016-04-18 06:46:36 UTC 
Description of problem:

After upgrading to new samba packages, OS X clients cannot authenticate as guests making local public network shares inaccessible.


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

Apr 18 08:14:06 Updated: samba-libs-4.2.10-6.el7_2.x86_64
Apr 18 08:14:07 Updated: samba-common-tools-4.2.10-6.el7_2.x86_64
Apr 18 08:14:07 Updated: samba-common-4.2.10-6.el7_2.noarch
Apr 18 08:14:07 Updated: samba-client-libs-4.2.10-6.el7_2.x86_64
Apr 18 08:14:07 Updated: samba-common-libs-4.2.10-6.el7_2.x86_64
Apr 18 08:14:09 Updated: samba-4.2.10-6.el7_2.x86_64


How reproducible:

Immediately after upgrade without any configuration changes. Windows and Linux clients can mount and work with the shares as usual.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to latest EL 7.2 samba packages
2. Try to mount a guest mountable network share using OS X Yosemite

Actual results:

OS X clients fail to mount with a generic error: 'There was a problem connecting to the server "<address>".'

Expected results:

Share mountable and browsable.

Additional info:

First encounter on production CentOS 7 server. Downgrading back to following packages works around the problem:

Apr 18 09:08:01 Installed: samba-libs-4.2.3-12.el7_2.x86_64
Apr 18 09:08:01 Installed: samba-common-tools-4.2.3-12.el7_2.x86_64
Apr 18 09:08:01 Installed: samba-common-4.2.3-12.el7_2.noarch
Apr 18 09:08:02 Installed: samba-client-libs-4.2.3-12.el7_2.x86_64
Apr 18 09:08:02 Installed: samba-common-libs-4.2.3-12.el7_2.x86_64
Apr 18 09:08:02 Installed: samba-4.2.3-12.el7_2.x86_64

I have confirmed this on up-to-date RHEL 7 VM with the developer license using identical package versions and epochs including downgrading.
Comment 2 Luc Lalonde 2016-05-11 18:51:17 UTC 
Hello...

I have the same problem...  We use our Samba fileserver for homedirs and profils in our Windows and Mac labs.

With this version of Samba, the Mac login session would lock-up and multiple 'smbd' with 100% CPU usage!

If I haden't notice this so quickly all our labs (Linux, Windows, Mac) would have been unuseable!

I grabbed the SRPMS from Fedora 24 testing and recompiled:

samba-winbind-4.4.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64
samba-client-libs-4.4.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64
samba-winbind-krb5-locator-4.4.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64
samba-common-tools-4.4.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64
samba-client-4.4.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64
samba-common-4.4.3-1.el7.centos.noarch
samba-libs-4.4.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64
samba-common-libs-4.4.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64
samba-4.4.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64
samba-winbind-modules-4.4.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64

Everything works correctly now (CentOS 7.2).

Cheers!

This is affecting me as well.  It appears that Debian has committed a fix to their packages last week:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=821730

The samba team also has committed a patch for this:
https://attachments.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=12045 
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11849

I am experiencing this problem on OS X hosts running 10.9-10.11.  In the mean time, I'll need to compile srpms from the Fedora Project, which is not a great solution in the long run.

I have also file a bug report with CentOS, which can be viewed here:
https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=10935


Thanks!
