smbd crash with force user option
Last modified: 2013-06-18 08:12:49 EDT
Description of problem: Using "force user" option in smb.conf under defined share, smbd will crash Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.23c- 2.el5.2 How reproducible: To reproduce this problem, samba must be configured with windbind and using Windows ADS to authentify. Also, the problem will appear if a user tried to map a drive from Windows (net use x: \\samba\test) and this user doesn't have access right at filesystem level. Here is an example os the share: [test] comment = Test Home Directory path = /home/test valid users = domain+test,domain+admin force user = domain+test <---------- Removing that option solve the issue, but in my case, I really need it. force group = domain+management read only = no create mask = 0660 directory mask = 02770 nt acl support = yes Actual results: When it failed, I Windows will show me arror saying the share is no longer available and under snmd.log I have this crash dump from smbd process, but I'm not unable to retreive it... Expected results: Sucessfull network drive connection Additional info: This problem has been solve on latest release of Samba. Recompiling version 3.0.24 solve the issue. Redhat should include this version into their distribution.
