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:

The "[Service]" section of /usr/lib/systemd/system/smb.service included with samba-4.15.3-0.el8.x86_64 has "Type=notify".  When the service is started, one of more instances of the following message are produced: "smb.service: Got notification message from PID [pid of child process], but reception only permitted for main PID [pid of the main smbd process]".  The Service section should be amended to include "NotifyAccess=all" to allow systemd to accept notifications from all members of the service's control group.  See the systemd.service(5) man page for more information.  This extra line is already present in the RHEL7 version of this package, which does not exhibit this behavior.

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

samba-4.15.3-0.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install samba
2. systemctl start smb.service

Actual results:

systemctl status smb.service | grep notification
Jan 19 15:10:38 hostname.example.com systemd[1]: smb.service: Got notification message from PID 3694238, but reception only permitted for main PID 3694231

Expected results:

Error should not occur.
