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.

Fixed In Version: 4.12.3-0.el8.3
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
._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. For further information about notable changes, read the link:https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.12.0.html[upstream release notes] before updating.

Description Andreas Schneider 2020-03-26 15:03:36 UTC 
Description of problem:

Rebase Samba to the latest 4.12 release to get improved FIPS support.
Comment 4 Andreas Schneider 2020-06-16 12:16:31 UTC 
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.
