This is not a glsa. Although in portage for a bit more than 1 month, samba-3.0.21b has been tested in production by some users since the appairing in bugzilla (first days of January).
stable on ppc64
Created attachment 81126 [details] SPARC nmbd death log nmbd from 3.0.21b/c dies horribly after a couple of seconds on sparc. Looking at the changelog there have been big-endian fixes lately but maybe they're missing something yet.
Stable \(^.^)/ Feeling the Samba love!
Marked stable on ppc by hansmi, removing ppc from cc
stable on amd64
The mips team doth annoint this bug with the mips keyword of stability +1.
samba-3.0.22 is now stable on SPARC. Gustavo's nmbd crashes appeared to be related to having a remote announce broadcast address defined when none of the interfaces samba is configured to use on a host covered that broadcast address.
One month ago I've opened a bug in upstream bugzilla for this [1]. Samba should not crash for such a little thing... :-) [1] https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3619
