Subject: Re: [Samba] [3.2.0] Off by one error
I'd need some pointers, I'm not all that familiar with gdb, and there is
no way to stop on the error. NMDB still runs after displaying this; so,
I don't think a back-trace will help find it when I kill the process.
What you can do is attach to the running process with :
gdb /usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd
b lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn:709
attach <pid>
continue
Then when the breakpoint triggers you can type :
bt
to get the backtrace, and also go up the stack
and type out the local variables.
If it happens every time you start nmbd then
that's easier, just type :
gdb --args /usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -i
b lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn:709
run
Thanks !

I'll have to get back to you later on the backtrace gdb is broken on my
machine.
It is 100% reproducable by including an interfaces line with the IP and mask
as the parameter. And only happens on startup when nmbd is loading the
configuration. If I change the interfaces line to read just the single IP
without the mask all is fine.
I'll check to see if this was a change to how the interface line is
specified or a problem that has always been there. And wasn't caught until
safe-copy was used.
interfaces 192.168.100.20/24
breaks the nmdb with an error; but doesn't stop nmdb.
interfaces 192.168.100.20
works and no error is reported.
