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:

samba-tool throws python errors when started , customer tries to fix each error manually but then another error occurs 

[root@pbvrtgw01 ~]# samba-tool
ERROR(<class 'ImportError'>): uncaught exception - cannot import name 'dnsserver'
  File "/usr/bin/samba-tool", line 44, in <module>
    retval = cmd._run("samba-tool", subcommand, *args)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line 259, in _run
    cmd = self.subcommands[cmd_name]
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/samba/netcmd/main.py", line 36, in __getitem__
    fromlist=['cmd_%s' % attr]),
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/samba/netcmd/computer.py", line 31, in <module>
    from samba.dcerpc import dnsserver, dnsp, security

when this is manually fixed another error pops out:

ERROR(<class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>): uncaught exception - No module named 'samba.samdb'
  File "/usr/bin/samba-tool", line 44, in <module>
    retval = cmd._run("samba-tool", subcommand, *args)

How reproducible:

Easy 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 8.7
2. #dnf update
3. #yum install samba
4  #samba-tool 


samba-common-tools-4.16.4-2.el8.x86_64 : Tools for Samba servers and clients
Repo        : rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/bin/samba-tool


Actual results:

cannot start samba-tool 


Expected results:

samba-tool UI to start without throwing errors 


Additional info:

samba-tool required for capability testing on a host joined to an AD domain  
customer initially wanted to test AD administration capabilities on linux side of join. 
samba-tool ad admin capabilities seem to be very limited with regards to AD DCs ( docs ref orig. designed for NT4 DCs)

Customer wants to explore & test samba-tool capabilities with in-house AD admin team & thinks Red hat should, as a minimum, fix  start up errors to allow research of capabilities.

--- Additional comment from Andreas Schneider on 2023-02-07 16:00:55 UTC ---

We addressed this already in RHEL 8.8. Pavel, can you please add a changelog entry?
Comment 3 Pavel Filipensky 2023-02-13 16:28:35 UTC 
Will be fixed by creating a new samba-tools package.
