[Samba] Unable to fetch value for secret BCKUPKEY_, are we an undetected RODC?
I upgraded from 4.1.23 to 4.2.12 and am now getting (lots of) messages: Unable to fetch value for secret BCKUPKEY_, are we an undetected RODC? I found an almost identical message (titled: "Update samba4 from 4.1.17 to 4.2.1 failed") on the web from May 22, 2015 at: http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/Update-samba4-from-4-1-17-to-4-2-1-failed-td4686215.html but saw no resolution other than suggestions by Rowland Penny to remove certain smb.conf settings, none of which I have. That page references a bug report https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11416, with a response on 2016-04-08 saying the problem is fixed in 4.3 and above. Seems like this is a problem going from 4.1 to 4.2, but not fixed until 4.3. Is there anything I can or should do about this? --Mark

If it is that bug that you're referencing, besides obviously upgrading, you could try to patch it yourself. Whether or not you need to patch this, probably depends on whether or not your users are actually seeing issues. All that seems to happen is that it's entering a failure case when it hasn't actually failed. https://www.samba.org/samba/patches/ Cheers, Garming On 04/07/16 07:06, Mark Foley wrote:> I upgraded from 4.1.23 to 4.2.12 and am now getting (lots of) messages: > > Unable to fetch value for secret BCKUPKEY_, are we an undetected RODC? > > I found an almost identical message (titled: "Update samba4 from 4.1.17 to 4.2.1 failed") on > the web from May 22, 2015 at: > > http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/Update-samba4-from-4-1-17-to-4-2-1-failed-td4686215.html > > but saw no resolution other than suggestions by Rowland Penny to remove certain smb.conf > settings, none of which I have. > > That page references a bug report https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11416, with a > response on 2016-04-08 saying the problem is fixed in 4.3 and above. > > Seems like this is a problem going from 4.1 to 4.2, but not fixed until 4.3. > > Is there anything I can or should do about this? > > --Mark >-------------- next part --------------

Garming - thanks for your quick response. That link you gave me has Samba 3.x patches. I didn't notice any links to 4.x patches. Official Distro Releases are often behind the current stable release, generally. In fact, when I first installed Samba4 the Linux version was more recent than the Ubuntu version. This lag is probably due to abundance of caution and/or lack of manpower. I don't think users will notice any problem (though they haven't used the new version yet). I've tested quite often this weekend and noticed nothing bad. If it's just a matter of a cluttered log file I can live with that until the Slack-folk catch up to version 4.2. I'm cautious about patching and wandering outside the official distro. Who knows what might happen at the next distro upgrade - perhaps losing the patch, at best.
