Package: samba
Version: 3.0.24-6etch9
 
Linux phone 2.6.18-6-686 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 22:11:31 UTC 2008 i686

The following email is sent several times a day, I have not been able to
isolate any specific event in the office to cause this:
 
The Samba 'panic action' script, /usr/share/samba/panic-action,
was called for PID 10866 (/umbd).
 
This means there was a problem with the program, such as a segfault.
sr/sbin/sBelow is a backtrace for this process generated with gdThe
Samba 'panic action' script, /usr/share/samba/panic-action,
was called for PID 10866 (/usr/sbin/smbd).
 
This means there was a problem with the program, such as a segfault.
Below is a backtrace for this process generated with gdb, which shows
the state of the program at the time the error occurred.  The Samba log
files may contain additional information about the problem.
 
If the problem persists, you are encouraged to first install the
samba-dbg package, which contains the debugging symbols for the Samba
binaries.  Then submit the provided information as a bug report to
Debian.  For information about the procedure for submitting bug reports,
please see http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting or the reportbug(1)
manual page.

I have installed the samba-dbg package, perhaps I need to do something
to activate it?
 
The only particularly odd thing that I can think of is the rather
constant presence in the logs of messages like:
 
log.tophers-compute.old:[2008/04/25 14:54:04, 0]
auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(785)
log.tophers-compute.old:  create_builtin_administrators: Failed to
create Administrators
log.tophers-compute.old:[2008/04/25 14:56:03, 0]
auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(785)
log.tophers-compute.old:  create_builtin_administrators: Failed to
create Administrators

Though these messages have been there for a least a year, and the panic
action is a recent development.  I'm afraid that I can't tell you
exactly when it started, though the first email I have saved, which may
have been the first one was on April 10
 
Below is my smb.conf
 
#======================= Global Settings =======================
 
[global]
 
## Browsing/Identification ###
   netbios name = MUIR
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will
part of
   workgroup = GREENBLUE
 
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
   server string = %h server
 
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS
Server
   wins support = yes
 
# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT
both
;   wins server = w.x.y.z
 
# If we receive WINS server info from DHCP, override the options above. 
#   include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
 
# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.
   dns proxy = no
 
# What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host
names
# to IP addresses
   name resolve order = lmhosts wins hosts bcast
 
#### Networking ####
 
# The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to
# This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask;
# interface names are normally preferred
   interfaces = 127.0.0.1 lo eth0 eth2 eth0:0
 
# Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the
# 'interfaces' option above to use this.
# It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine
is
# not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself.  However, this
# option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces correctly.
   bind interfaces only = true
 
#### Debugging/Accounting ####
 
# This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   debug level = 5
# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
   max log size = 1000
 
# If you want Samba to only log through syslog then set the following
# parameter to 'yes'.
;   syslog only = no
 
# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog.
Everything
# should go to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead. If you want to
log
# through syslog you should set the following parameter to something
higher.
   syslog = 0
 
# Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace
   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
 

####### Authentication #######
 
# "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix
account
# in this server for every user accessing the server. See
# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html
# in the samba-doc package for details.
   security = user
 
# You may wish to use password encryption.  See the section on
# 'encrypt passwords' in the smb.conf(5) manpage before enabling.
   encrypt passwords = true
 
# If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need to know what
# password database type you are using.

   obey pam restrictions = yes
 
;   guest account = nobody

;   username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
 
# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the
Unix
# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
# passdb is changed.
   unix password sync = yes
 
# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the
following
# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan
<<kahan at informatik.tu-muenchen.de> for
# sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian
Sarge).
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
 
# This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes
# when requested by an SMB client instead of the program listed in
# 'passwd program'. The default is 'no'.
  pam password change = yes
 
########## Domains ###########

# from the client point of view)

# NOTE: Must be store in 'DOS' file format convention
   logon script = netlogon.bat
 
# This allows Unix users to be created on the domain controller via the
SAMR
# RPC pipe.  The example command creates a user account with a disabled
Unix
# password; please adapt to your needs
; add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser --quiet --disabled-password
--gecos "" %u
add user script = useradd -m -G staff %u
 
########## Printing ##########
 
# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
   load printers = no
 
# lpr(ng) printing. You may wish to override the location of the
# printcap file

# CUPS printing.  See also the cupsaddsmb(8) manpage in the
# cupsys-client package.

# properties
