While installing Samba 2.0.6 using 'security=server', I at first used a
domain name (whatever.epicentric.com) for the 'password server'
parameter,
before realizing that it should be the NetBIOS name (WHATEVER). An
incorrect value appears to cause a segfault (on Solaris). The
workaround is "don't do that then" but thought I'd report it
in case
other people run into the same problem. Perhaps there needs to be a
better error message?
