To all users who reported this bug: Can you check whether you have "passdb backend = tdbsam guest" in your smb.conf and, if you do, replace it with "passdb backend = tdbsam"? Thanks to Martin Schuster and Simo Sorce for pointing this out. Simo: Debian doesn't actually ship anymore with "passdb backend = tdbsam guest" in the default smb.conf we provide. We still need to investigate whether the maintainer scripts are likely to create this...or if this is only something that longstanding users of samba in Debian could have inherited. In any case, we should probably do someting on both sides (Debian maintainers and samba upstream): -on Debian side, handle the "passdb backend = tdbsam guest" settings in smb.conf and at least warn users about it...or even propose them to replace it with "passdb backend = tdbsam" -on upstream side, avoid crashing in that case...:-) There is some urgent action here: we can't ship with this.
