Hi.
Are there any places I can download older versions of Samba working with CentOS 7?
Reason:
I have been upgrading all of my servers from 6.X to 7.X. This alone is a massive task for me as I am a one man band.
Samba made massive changes not allowing NT style domains anymore in the 4.10 branch.
If I can find older samba RPM's for CentOS 7 than I can finish all upgrades of the OS, then later upgrade samba once I am finished when I have more time.
Any ideas anyone?
thanks Jobst

Hi Jobst,
you can use latest samba package from CentOS 7 - there is no problem with NT style domains support (ie. it supports NT style domains). We use servers with CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 both with NT style domains.

Phew! Thank you, this is great news!
I had huge trouble to get the samba server started after I ported it onto a CentOS 7 machine. I tried to start it with
systemctl start smbd nmbd winbind samba
and it failed without error messages.
So I has asked a question on the Samba mailing list. They told me I should do this as
systemctl stop smbd nmbd winbind samba systemctl disable smbd nmbd winbind samba systemctl mask smbd nmbd winbind samba systemctl unmask samba-ad-dc systemctl enable samba-ad-dc systemctl start samba-ad-dc
Can you confirm, you start this with
systemctl start samba-ad-dc
thanks
In "my" CentOS 7 there are only services smb and nmb. I do not need winbind. I use samba with ldap and kerberos. So I use: systemctl enable smb nmb systemctl start smb nmb
I use standard samba packages comming with CentOS 7: # rpm -qa | grep samba samba-client-libs-4.8.3-4.el7.x86_64 samba-4.8.3-4.el7.x86_64 samba-common-4.8.3-4.el7.noarch samba-common-tools-4.8.3-4.el7.x86_64 samba-common-libs-4.8.3-4.el7.x86_64 samba-libs-4.8.3-4.el7.x86_64
If you have trouble with starting samba there are posibilities to set higher log level and then see what happens.

RHEL and therefore Centos does not support a samba ad-dc. You either have to find 3rd party rpms or build from source.
IIRC, Your initial request was for nt pdc support. They are totally different animals and might work with the rpms provided by Centos. Various people over on the samba list have found it painful to keep NT domains working with the latest versions of windows.
Having said that, your best bet is to bits the bullet and upgrade to AD. NT domains have been obsoleted by Ms for more than 10 years.
Samba AD works just fine on Centos 7 if you build it yourself or find workable 3rd party rpms.
