Description Tom Dickson 2003-08-27 10:54:21 UTC
When attempting to connect to a share as the user "HAENGINEERING+kmr", smbd
panics. Below is the last command before the panic:

I'll attach the full logs and the smb.conf soon.

Full logs for all connections made

This is a tgz containing all of the log files. log.ws161 shows a connection
working for user "HAENGINEERS+_testme", log.ws162 shows a similar connection
for "HAENGINEERS+kmr" causing smb_panic.
Comment 4 Tom Dickson 2003-08-27 11:00:54 UTC
The last thing before the panic is sys_getgrouplist, so I tried a wbinfo -r
HAENGINEERS+kmr, and that seemed to work correctly. getent group/passwd also works.

Is it possible that one of the groups has too many members? If more information
is needed, I can add it.

Note: my email account is being slow, so I may not be able to respond quickly.
Comment 5 Tom Dickson 2003-08-28 16:09:38 UTC
The user HAENGINEERS+KMR is a member of 42 groups, as reported by:

wbinfo -r HAENGINEERS+kmr | wc -l

I'm trying to reproduce this on another system (and then I'll try rc1/2).
Comment 6 Tom Dickson 2003-08-28 17:12:53 UTC
I've verified that on my local network, with membership in 34 groups, smbd panics.

When I'm only a member of 33 groups, it works correctly.

I have 300k of level 100 logs, if you're really interested in them. 

Also: The user HAENGINEERS+KMR was able to prevent this by removing a single
group: "Information Technology".

Adding this group to a user would make that user cause a panic.
Comment 7 Tom Dickson 2003-09-02 12:48:47 UTC
This seems to work correctly in Samba-3.0.0rc2. Tested up to 42 groups.

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.
