Thanks for clarifying. I was not aware of this.
For the short term I downgraded to an older version of samba4 (to get my
system running again).
(And yes, there is an entry in bugzilla for "my" problem. And a link to
an upstream patch )
In the medium term I'm looking for an other distribution:
It doesn't make sense to have about 10 years of support (in theory), but
updates just every half year.
Then I prefer a system
-- where I have to do upgrades to the next major versions more frequently,
-- because of merely about 3 years of update support,
++ but with a more current update policy
++ and an overall more recent software.

Hi,
are there any updates for samba4 ?
At the moment in the repo is:
samba4-4.2.10-6.el6_7.x86_64 from 13th of april.
At download.samba.org is a updated version samba-4.2.12 from 2016-05-02 (one
month ago!)
As there are some bugs in 4.2.10, which seem to be solved in 4.2.12 (for
instance: 'wbinfo -u' returns no users), I'm really interested in the
updated version !!!
You seem unfamiliar with how Scientific Linux ships software which is
causing you some confusion. Scientific Linux (SL) is built from the
git source code that Red Hat puts out for its Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Red Hat does periodic updates to its software on a scale of 1 to 2
times a year but these upgrades may only backport fixes to the current
release number or may do a complete upgrade. [When a RHEL release
moves from various production stages which RHEL-6 just did, they only
backport major fixes.]
So if you need SL to ship samba4-4.2.12 then you need to check to see
if there are existing bugs on the issues you need fixed in
http://bugzilla.redhat.com and also test out whenever RHEL-6.9beta
comes out to see if the bug was backported to it. Otherwise you may
need to look at Scientific Linux 7 and if it is fixed/updated in SL7.3
