Undercertian conditions that will be detailed below, samba's auth thread will die, causing the machine to refuse new connections but continue to serve authenticated users. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install samba 2. Have a second interface configured with dhcpcd emerged with +zeroconf and get a bonjour/avahi ip. 3.have some users connect and watch samba crash in log.smbd Actual Results: Crash Expected Results: no crash I have a working fix. In the src_compile function of the ebuild in the econf section add "--enable-dnssd=no \". From my conversation with the samba devs this affects the 3.0 series up to 3.3.x so you may need to push this change across more ebuilds. This is the samba bug that pertains to this. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6612 I found this because of a series of different events that just lead to my system being in the right state. I don't think many other people will hit this, but if I can save some trouble, why not.
+ 17 Aug 2009; Patrick Lauer <patrick@gentoo.org> +samba-3.2.13-r3.ebuild: + Small fixes for #276457 #280565 #276943, unconditionally disables zeroconf + support for now as it is crashy
Hmm, best to keep open for 3.0 as that could still be affected
still an issue with 3.3.7
With 3.3.7 try disabling zeroconf use flag
Is this an issue with samba-3.4.9 or 3.5.6 ? Keep in mind those ebuilds use configure with --disable-dnssd
