not a good idea.
you should grep the old packages from here:
https://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/allpkgs/

and install those.

this is correct as samba 3.6 is not supported anymore.
We used some backported patches for the last CVEs.
Maybe they are not quite correct or whatever.

don't know either what the problem could be.
Could you provide the logs with higher logging level e.g. 5
so maybe I can catch something.
If not maybe we should just rollback the patches we added.
