[Samba] Issue after upgrade to samba-client-4.9.1-6.el7.x86_64 - Unable to initialize messaging context

[L.P.H. van Belle]

If you upgrade, you might see multiple of these messages. 

Unable to initialize messaging context  

If you stop/start samba these are should be gone. 

If these are still there after stop/start, then your most probley missing some packages in you install. 
But i dont know much off .. EL7 .. but thats the first i would check here. 

Its also reported at Debian. 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=931688 

There i noticed that smbclient is used but libsmbclient was not installed. 
So can you verify that also. 


Greetz,
