samba - Sep 2002 - Strange segfaulting bug in Samba, has something to do with logleve.

Hey.

I seem to have the strangest problem with samba.

I have been running samba on a total of four machine, without a problem.
Now with a new machine, it won't work.
UNLESS I set loglevel to 10 in smb.conf, now thats weird.

If I remove the loglevel parameter from the smb.conf (so it reverts to
default, what.. 5 ?) it crashes after just a minute or so of use.

Here is first a log from the server viewing a share, after about five
seconds the client segfaults without any obvious reason.

I tried setting the debug-level of smbclient to 10 by using "smbclient
//gw/north "password" -d10" and it gave me alot of information
but NOTHING
about the segfault, it just said seg fault and died on me.

Here is the log anyway,


amos /home/webbie# smbclient //gw/north
added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

I noticed that smbclient is crashing no matter what loglevel I set, but
the samba daemon does NOT crash when smbclient dies.


And then the log from smbd, doesnt make any sense to me.

For now its running fine with loglevel 10, i guess I could set up a
cronjob to remove the logfile every 30 minutes or so (yikes does samba
spit out alot of info) but Id guess Id let you know.
