samba - Dec 2008 - Samba 3.3.0rc1 for production server - is it save?

Hi guys,

My samba server stop to respond many times today even though I've upgraded
the memory from 1Gb to 5Gb (it keeps eating my memory out). I've tried samba
3.0.32, 3.2.4 before, but no success. I go to samba.org and found
samba-3.3.0rc1. Is it save to use it in our production server? I'm really
desperate here. Anyway, I've been trying to rpmbuild its source code but
failed with this message (after resolved other things first in samba.spec
for RHEL)

I have checked build_options.c file but couldn't find the respective failed
command. I'm also curious about the line "-DLDAP_DEPRECATED". Does
it mean I
cannot use my openldap for samba authentication again? It's really confusing
me.

Thank you for your help.

Maybe the answer to your problem is here:

http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/recent/

Version 3.3.0 (Testing) is here:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/samba:/TESTING/

Hi,

You're right. I got this after changing samba.spec:

Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

RPM build errors:
    File listed twice: samba-3.3.0rc1.tar.gz
    File not found:
/home/tilangga/tmp/samba-3.3.0rc1-root/usr/sbin/cifs.upcall

I don't understand what are those things. :)

Thank you.

Hi Henkel,

I've finally succeed rpmbuild-ing samba, but this time it's the newest
release of samba, the 3.2.6 version. To handle the cifs.upcall.8.gz thing, I
added

%{_mandir}/man8/cifs.upcall.8*

in the respective line in samba.spec. I also installed ccache so I don't
have to uncomment the ccache part in samba.spece. I have simulated the
installation (upgrade) and they work. :) Hope this can help.

Regards,

How a samba server could eat 5 Gb ? How many users has you got ? which
proccess is eating the memory ?
