I installed these packages from sid this morning, onto an otherwise squeeze based system:
samba-common 2:3.5.6~dfsg-4 samba-common-bin 2:3.5.6~dfsg-4 libwbclient0 2:3.5.6~dfsg-4 winbind 2:3.5.6~dfsg-4 I can see the pam library file is updated: ls -l /lib/security/pam_winbind.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60168 Jan 15 16:04 /lib/security/pam_winbind.so winbind and saslauthd are restarted. Six hours later I check and the number of fd files and links is static at 8 files under each /proc/<pid>/fd where <pid> is a process id from saslauthd Based on prior experiences with the bug (leak growth appears within a few minutes), this bug is fixed in these package releases. --Donald
