Problems with libtdb/libtalloc

[Ray Van Dolson]

I haven't had the time to truly dig into this (will file a bug once I
do), but in light of recent discussion, thought I'd mention it.

When using the latest samba3x packages from RHEL 5.5 in tandem with the
libtdb/libtalloc packages from EPEL (which overwrite the RHEL provided
ones), winbindd goes into some sort of endless loop, consuming much
processor time.

Only fix I've found is to "downgrade" to the RHEL provided versions of
libtalloc/libtdb.

Have seen this happen on at least two different hosts so far.

Is this from the package in epel-testing or in epel default? If it is
the one in testing then we have another problem to look for.

Default.  Should've checked testing.  Will double back on this.

Yes, works fine with the version in -testing.  Sorry for the noise.

No problem. Would you mind adding positive karma at

Please remember to log in first, so your karma is saved.
