Package: samba
Version: 3.0.22-1
Severity: important
The strangest thing has happened today - I was watching a movie
streamed from a samba share when the transfer suddenly froze and all
attempts to reconnect to the samba server via Windows or Linux clients
just hung.
I stopped samba and kill -9'ed the one remaing unresponsive smbd -
problem is, I cannot start samba again:
butters:/home/chris# /etc/init.d/samba start
Starting Samba daemons: nmbd smbd
just hangs there, with the curser after the final 'd'. It's not a
timeout either, I waited for 30 minutes before killing it via ctrl+c.
Not even a reboot helps, samba even blocks the boot process in the
same way and ctrl+c doesn't work. I have to start in single mode to get
the box up at all.
The logs show nothing. What could have been so horribly corrupted by
the hanging smbd that it refuses to start now?
Thanks,
C.

I can't reproduce this problem in any Samba configuration on recent versions
of the package. If the local cups server is offline, smbd still starts up
without delays.
I guess you have a broken version of CUPS on your local system, or you have
Samba configured to point to a remote cups server (your network printer)
which breaks in a pathological way by, e.g., accepting connections and then
hanging indefinitely. Either way, I don't think there's a straightforward
way for us to fix this in the Samba package, and in any case it's not
reproducible here.
If you can provide a reproducible test case that doesn't involve possession
of a misbehaving network printer, or you think there might be some relevant
settings in your smb.conf that I've overlooked, then please feel free to
reopen this bug with more information. In the meantime, I'm closing this
report because I don't see a bug here.
Thanks,
