This can result from a user action using Nautilus: - right-click a folder - select "Sharing options" - check "Share this folder" - click "Create Share" - wait for Samba will be downloaded an installed.
I then ended up uninstalling it because I found a better way to share the directory, but found after that I could not login or use `sudo'. Running an strace on `login' when trying to debug this showed that the samba password file was being accessed shortly before the segfault, so it seems that the presence/non-presence of this file may have been the cause of the problem. Note that this might be quite serious as any user that decides to share a folder might be affected, and they will likely not know how to fix it as it breaks sudo. -- login crashed with SIGSEGV in dump_core() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278617 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
