Package: samba Version: 3.0.23c-1 Severity: important Apologies if I overlooked an already existing bug report. There are so many...
I just updated samba on my machine, and after that, the smbd program refused to start, sending desparate mails "Panic or segfault in Samba". I tracked this back to the line "passdb backend = tdbsam, " in /etc/samba/smb.conf. Comparing this to the backed up previous version shows that the upgrade had removed "guest" from "passdb backend = tdbsam, guest" but not ", ". It seems that this line from samba-common.postinst does not take this situation into account: s/^\([[:space:]]*passdb backend[[:space:]]*=.*\)[[:space:]]*guest[[:space:]]*$/\1/i" \ The =.* is greedy, eating up everything before guest. The comma is matched by it, the space is because of the greedyness. This leaves ", " in \1. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages samba depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.3 Debian configuration management sy ii libacl1 2.2.41-1 Access control list shared library ii libattr1 2.4.32-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.39-1 common error description library ii libcupsys2 1.2.2-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libgnutls13 1.4.4-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libkrb53 1.4.4-1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap2 2.1.30-13+b1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam-modules 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.79-3.1 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpopt0 1.10-2 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii logrotate 3.7.1-3 Log rotation utility ii lsb-base 3.1-15 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii netbase 4.25 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii procps 1:3.2.7-2 /proc file system utilities ii samba-common 3.0.23c-1 Samba common files used by both th ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages samba recommends: pn smbldap-tools <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: samba/nmbd_from_inetd: samba/log_files_moved: samba/tdbsam: false * samba/generate_smbpasswd: true * samba/run_mode: daemons -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
