Strange update... How to investigate?

Hi,

Today, I was looking my server health, I not do this very often, I’ve got no problem so I forget it :grin:
But, today, there was an update available and I was surprised with what was update:

Jan 09 14:31:39 Updated: samba-winbind-3.6.23-24.el6_7.x86_64
Jan 09 14:31:41 Updated: samba-winbind-clients-3.6.23-24.el6_7.x86_64
Jan 09 14:31:45 Updated: samba-common-3.6.23-24.el6_7.x86_64
Jan 09 14:31:45 Updated: nss-sysinit-3.19.1-8.el6_7.x86_64
Jan 09 14:31:47 Updated: nss-3.19.1-8.el6_7.x86_64
Jan 09 14:31:48 Updated: openssl-1.0.1e-42.el6_7.2.x86_64
Jan 09 14:31:52 Updated: openssl-devel-1.0.1e-42.el6_7.2.x86_64
Jan 09 14:31:53 Updated: nss-tools-3.19.1-8.el6_7.x86_64
Jan 09 14:31:54 Updated: gnutls-2.8.5-19.el6_7.x86_64
Jan 09 14:31:54 Updated: rpcbind-0.2.0-11.el6_7.x86_64

Why there’s a samba update when I don’t use Samba… Below you can see what is installed

How to investigate this case?

Hi Jim,

All those updates are from Red Hat/CentOS, not from NS.

Just one example for “samba-winbind-3.6.23-24.el6_7.x86_64”: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-0011.html

AFAIK, samba is required by the L2TP VPN.

Hi Filippo,

VPN is not installed.

I think Samba is using by Web Server (Apache Web Server).

BR,
Gabriel

This is my bet: Web proxy requests it for authentication with AD?

There are some log files regarding samba.

EDIT
https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-samba-daemons.html

BR,
Gabriel

I don’t have samba log…
I don’t use AD for authentication…

If I remember well, you have installed first CentOS (from USB bootable stick) and then NethServer.
I think Samba was installed with CentOS.
This may be the reason that you don’t have some Samba services from NS (Samba was already installed).

The updates are from / for CentOS and NethServer.
Anyway, like I said, all those updates are from Red Hat/CentOS, not from NS.

BR,
Gabriel

Check pls yum-cron ?

@nas is right, yum may have the answer.

yum history pkg-info samba

Like I said from the beginning: all those updates are from Red Hat/CentOS, not from NS.
You can do “yum history pkg-info …” for all “strange updates” and you will get the same answer.

Good, it has been installed as dependency on transaction 4

yum history info 4

should provide the details of what has been installed.

Hi Davide,

Here are the details.

I think Jim should make all these tests because for him is a question mark from where are all those updates, not for me. :wink:

This is the dog that bites its tail

So … What’s happen here?

Is a future update can install KDE or Gnome on NEthServer? :laughing:

Jim,
Please read about Samba here: https://www.samba.org/
You will find interesting and maybe unknown things.
We are not in the Twilight Zone even we are using Linux! :wink:

I know what is Samba… It’s not only a Brazilian dance :laughing:

I want to know what it’s doing on my system where It was not installed because I don’t use it.

IJust think ( yes, I do ) about AFP…I will investigate if AFP bring this stuff :smirk:
