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 David Spurek 2013-03-04 09:39:11 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #908353 +++

Description of problem:
samba will no longer start if the ldapsam passdb backend is configured

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba-4.0.1-1.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.configure samba for an ldapsam backend
(mainly passdb backend = ldapsam, plus for example
        ldap admin dn = cn=Directory Manager
        ldap suffix = dc=xxxx,dc=com
        ldap user suffix = cn=users,cn=accounts
        ldap machine suffix = cn=computers,cn=accounts
        ldap group suffix = cn=groups,cn=accounts
        ldap ssl = off
if an IPA compatible ldap database is used to hold credentials)
2.then start smbd

Actual results:
smbd no longer starts

Expected results:
smbd starts and works

Additional info:
smbd tries to load the backend from:
/usr/lib64/samba/pdb/ldapsam.so
but ldapsam.so is simply not there
