Package: samba Version: 3.0.24-6etch2 Severity: normal
When a samba server is running as a wins server, the wins server remembers IP addresses of the server, which have since been deleted. Restarting samba, and using "net cache flush" does not cure the problem. Clients intermittently recieve stale data, and fail to contact the server. To reproduce: 1. Create a samba server with multiple IP addresses on a local subnet .e.g. 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1 2. Start samba server with 'wins support = yes' 3. net lookup <server-name> 4. net cache list - both IP addresses should be listed 5. /etc/init.d/samba stop 6. ip addr del 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth0 7. /etc/init.d/samba start 8. net lookup <server-name> 9. net cache list - both IP addresses are still listed (Incorrectly) Deleting or editing /var/lib/samba/wins.dat (and possibly deleting /var/run/samba/wins.tdb) with the samba server stopped works around the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-rc4 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages samba depends on: ii debconf 1.5.11 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.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomer 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2 common error description library ii libcupsy 1.2.7-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libgnutl 1.4.4-3 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libkrb53 1.4.4-7etch1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap2 2.1.30-13.3 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam-m 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-r 0.79-4 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii logrotat 3.7.1-3 Log rotation utility ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii netbase 4.29 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii procps 1:3.2.7-3 /proc file system utilities ii samba-co 3.0.24-6etch2 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/tdbsam: false samba/generate_smbpasswd: true samba/run_mode: daemons -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
