samba - Apr 2020 - Samba 4.12 python3 and vfs object full_audit (centos7)

Hallo,

I?m using samba 4.11 from sernet and the vfs object full_audit.
After update samba to 4.12 from sernet full_audit is broken and the shares with
full_audit are not accessible.
Can anyone tell me please how to install python 3 on centos7 while the Centos
system needs python 2 but samba sould use python3?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Python3 is available in the latest release of Redhat7/CentOS7 (I think 
starting from version 7.7). So you just have to upgrade to have support 
for Python3. The two version Python2 and Python3 can live side by side 
without any problem.

I think all the necessary Python3 packages are available in either base 
CentOS7 or EPEL except for pygpgme which is only python2 by default and 
has to be rebuilt.

You'll also need more up to date gnutls/nettle version. You may take a 
look at my srcrpm https://samba.tranquil.it/centos7/samba-4.12.0-srcrpm/

Cheers,

Denis

We run Sernet Samba 4.12 on CentOS 8 and have the same problem with vfs 
object full_audit. My expectation was that Sernet takes care for 
dependencies?

```
../../source3/lib/util.c:830(smb_panic_s3)
PANIC (pid 11632): vfs_full_audit.c: name table not in sync with 
vfs_op_type enums
```

What to do?
