[Bug 1257186] Re: memory leakage messages

[Wayne]

On fresh 14.04 install with "Samba File Server" selected during
install...I hit the same "leaking memory" message when i 'sudo su'.
Confirmed was able to run 'pam-auth-update' and deselected "SMB password
synchronization" option in the pam-auth-update UI and the "leaking
memory" no longer appears. However, i don't know if this actually
prevents the memory leak or if there are any other side-effects.

Bug description:
  This message appears a lot as of a recent update to samba (Trusty
  development branch):

  no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4831, leaking
  memory

  From this upstream bug report, I am lead to believe the issue is in
  libpam-smbpass, but I don't really know for sure.

  I am filing this bug report mainly so that I can refer to it on the
  testing tracker as an issue, while still setting the test case to
  pass. Note that other than the error message itself, I am not aware of
  any bad side effect.
