Dear Maintainer, This command fails: # testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf --suppress-prompt Load smb config files from <<garbage-characters-here>> Error loading services. However this command succeeds: # testparm --suppress-prompt [...] The second command is identical to the first one, except that we don't explicitly pass the location of the config file to test. If not specified, the default config file is /etc/samba/smb.conf. It seems that the issue is due to the package libpopt0. The command worked fine with libpopt0 1.18-3, and it crashes with libpopt0 1.19+dfsg-1 that just landed in Debian testing, hence in Kali Linux. The issue was initially reported in the Kali bug tracker at https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=8024#c17003, and it can be reproduced in Debian unstable. Thanks, Arnaud
