[Bug 1177805] Re: samba disallows certain network clients/users and crashes

[Robie Basak]

I presume this crash is reproducible? In that case, could you try a few
things to isolate the problem, please?

As you say this could be a regression caused by an update, please
downgrade to samba packages of version 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2 and see if that
fixes the problem. If it does, then please try to narrow down which
update created the problem.

Otherwise, please try using "tdbtool check" to check all your tdb
databases in /var/lib/samba, and also try reverting to an old backup
from before you had the problem, to ensure that the problem isn't caused
by a corruption in these files.

You could also try using the latest upstream version compiled from
source, in case this bug has been fixed in a more recent upstream
release.

If this all fails, then we're getting to the area where only a deep dive
by a developer is going to be able to fix your issue. It may be easier
for you to try recreating your domain from scratch to see if the problem
goes away.

Title:
  samba disallows certain network clients/users and crashes

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Samba disallows certain network users and crashes. Specifucally, Win7
  service (Cobian backup 11) logged on as "local system" user cannot
  create folders in Samba share while I can manually do so and now
  crashed as well. This used to work perfectly well and suddenly stopped
  I assume there must have been a Samba update as I did not update
  Windows/Cobian machine and regularily update Ubuntu/Samba server.

  
  The Samba 'panic action' script, /usr/share/samba/panic-action,
  was called for PID 28333 (/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
  Ubuntu by visiting this link:
