Hi,

This was a mistake introduced into the RPM specfile during a
recent set of merges. When it was realized, the 3.0.21b-1 rpm was
pulled from samba.org and a new set of RPMs posted. The tdb files
should live in /var/lib/samba/
Actually, stock RHEL4 rpms for their 3.0.10-1.4E.2 version use
/var/cache/samba/.
Does this change in the packaging reflect a sea change towards use of
/var/lib/samba/ for the future?(I.E. Can we expect future
RHEL-distributed packagings to adopt use of /var/lib/samba/ as well?)
IMO. They should have always been in /var/lib/samba/.
I can't guess what RedHat would do, but SuSE and most other
distros I can think of use /var/lib/samba/. You could
probably check the stock Fedora RPMs and see what they use. IIRC
they are using /var/lib/samba/ as well.
if this helps...

FWIW:
To get winbind working under the base RHEL4 packages (3.0.10-1.4E.2),
I had to modify the SELinux configuration slightly:
with package selinux-policy-targeted-sources installed, add these
two lines to /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/domains/misc/local.te:
allow winbind_t etc_t:file write;
allow winbind_t samba_etc_t:file write;
followed by:
]# cd /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy
]# make load
When I built and installed the 3.0.21b-3 packages under RHEL4, the
switch to using /var/lib/samba/ from /var/cache/samba/ resulted in a
whole mess of SELinux AVC errors. And a completely non-functional winbindd...
To fix, I had to to two things:
1) again modify the SELinux configuration by adding the following
lines to /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/domains/misc/local.te:
allow winbind_t etc_t:file write;
allow winbind_t samba_etc_t:file write;
allow winbind_t initrc_t:process { signal signull };
allow winbind_t initrc_var_run_t:file { lock read };
allow winbind_t var_lib_t: dir { search };
... and another make load like above...
(Not sure whether the /var/lib/samba/ change directly caused the need
for lines 3,4 -- could have been some other change that made that
necessary. Line 5, though, is obviously due to this change.)
2) I also needed to execute a chcon to change the SELinux labeling on
the /var/lib/samba/ directory that was created during the
installation. The installation picked up the default labeling of
var_lib_t from the parent /var/lib/ directory. To allow things to
work properly under SELinux enforcing, and without wholesale opening
of anything labeled var_lib_t to just about all forms of access
from winbind_t, I used chcon to relabel the /var/lib/samba/ directory
to use the same labeling as /var/cache/samba/ had:
]# chcon -R -t samba_var_t /var/lib/samba
I also needed to fix the labeling on /var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged/ :
]# chcon -R -t winbind_var_run_t /var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged
Given these necessary changes, perhaps changing back to
/var/cache/samba/ for RHEL4 builds might be prudent...

BTW, the rpms for RHEL4 from http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/rhel/rhel4/ have more pakages and different names that the .rpm shipped in RHEL4. For example, the packages are called samba3-* and in RHEL4 are called samba-* Also, packages libsmbclient and libsmbclient-devel does not exits in RHEL4, so, upgrading is not straightforward. Those packages are specifically handled by SerNet. So you would need to discuss any concerns or questions with them. cheers, jerry -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD83XBIR7qMdg1EfYRAjwQAKDbyVzVNXIOtdbRO7Yl1p3b4+m4PgCgupEE lFLIFPxMc+mzHKWSNb9I+4I= =wozF -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Hi Josh and Dimitri, thanks for your comments.
