Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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 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

Additional info:

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:

See https://www.samba.org/~asn/reporting_samba_bugs.txt

Closing as there are no log files to investigate further.
