I'm running debian sid with the 2.6.18 kernel and and the 3.0.23c-4 version of samba. After a routine update a week or so ago I could no longer use samba. I haven't made any changes to my smb.conf file. When I try to restart samba from a terminal I get this: # /etc/init.d/samba restart Stopping Samba daemons: nmbd smbdstart-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 7815: No such process And /var/log/samba/log.smbd shows this: [2006/11/10 18:53:17, 0] lib/util.c:log_stack_trace(1699) BACKTRACE: 7 stack frames: #0 /usr/sbin/smbd(log_stack_trace+0x23) [0x822b883] #1 /usr/sbin/smbd(smb_panic+0x46) [0x822b976] #2 /usr/sbin/smbd [0x81eaa61] #3 /usr/sbin/smbd(initialize_password_db+0xe) [0x81eaaae] #4 /usr/sbin/smbd(main+0x591) [0x82c1eb1] #5 /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xc8) [0xb7b8aea8] #6 /usr/sbin/smbd [0x8082a31] [2006/11/10 18:53:17, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(1600) smb_panic(): calling panic action [/usr/share/samba/panic-action 7815] Failed to read a valid object file image from memory.
