[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#420891: samba: smb crashes at startup

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting Eric Van Buggenhaut (ericvb at debian.org):
> Package: samba
> Version: 3.0.24-6
> Severity: important
> 
> Immediately after lauching samba, smbd crashes with the attached trace.
> 
> I tag this bug as important because samba is a major package, and the 
> core of many file servers. Plus this is a stable release and such bugs 
> aren't expected at all.


Please send your smb.conf file

It's very likely that you have

passdb backend = tdbsam guest

What puzzling is guessing why you didn't get a warning like this:


Template: samba-common/unsupported-passdb
Type: note
_Description: Chaining passdb backends is not supported
 Beginning with version 3.0.23, samba no longer supports chaining
 multiple backends in the "passdb backend" parameter.  It appears that
 your smb.conf file contains a passdb backend parameter consisting of a
 list of backends.  The new version of samba will not work until you
 correct this.
