I presume this crash is reproducible? In that case, could you try a few things to isolate the problem, please?
As you say this could be a regression caused by an update, please downgrade to samba packages of version 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2 and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then please try to narrow down which update created the problem. Otherwise, please try using "tdbtool check" to check all your tdb databases in /var/lib/samba, and also try reverting to an old backup from before you had the problem, to ensure that the problem isn't caused by a corruption in these files. You could also try using the latest upstream version compiled from source, in case this bug has been fixed in a more recent upstream release. If this all fails, then we're getting to the area where only a deep dive by a developer is going to be able to fix your issue. It may be easier for you to try recreating your domain from scratch to see if the problem goes away. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1177805 Title: samba disallows certain network clients/users and crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1177805/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
