It's impossible to create a new share using swat in samba-3.0beta3, I got this behavior on debian-stable 3.0 and on FreeBSD-4.8-STABLE. As soon as you hit "Create Share" you get a new page and see nothing, the logfile shows (when used with debuglevel 10, that there was an INTERNAL ERROR. gdb on the core file results in: Core was generated by `swat'. Program terminated with signal 6, Abort trap. #0 0x283d0c84 in ?? () Backtrace: #0 0x283d0c84 in ?? () #1 0x80babba in ?? () #2 0x80abc1d in ?? () #3 0x80abc71 in ?? () #4 0xbfbfffac in ??

() I have not stripped swat nor smbd or anything else of the samba-3.0beta3 package, so I don't know why there are no debugging symbols Samba was built with the following configure options: ./configure --with-fhs --with-configdir=/etc/samba --with-logfilebase=/var/log --with-privatedir=/etc/samba --with-piddir=/var/run --with-swatdir=/etc/samba/swat --with-ldap --with-syslog --enable-cups --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass
Fixed in CVS.
originally reported against 3.0.0beta3. CLeaning out non-production release versions.
sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
