Description John Russell 2006-07-18 20:02:11 UTC

Whenever any application tries to use libnss_wins to resolve a wins hostname using samba-3.0.23 it segfaults.  To reproduce this, add the "wins" keyword to the end of the hosts line in nsswitch.conf.  Then ping a wins address.  This can also crash firefox and most other apps that use libnss_wins.  This Ubuntu thread has a patch which fixes this: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/39990

samba-3.0.23-r3 works in this respect.
